As one of hip-hop’s elite goes away, another one returns. T.I. celebrates his homecoming with the new buzz single “I’m Back,” produced by Grand Hustle’s TrackSlayerz, from his seventh studio album, dropping August 24. Tip is scheduled to be released from a halfway house on March 26 after serving 10 months behind bars.

Jim Jonsin spoke to staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud about getting back in the studio with the King. “It doesn’t seem like he missed a beat,” said the “Whatever U Like” producer. “He was so upbeat, his spirits were up, and he’s excited to be out and working.”
