Tip taps the Meridian, Mississippi native for a street single to build anticipation for his official single.
Yesterday, DJ Drama revealed that T.I. will release a new cut next week. According to XXLMag.com, the track will arrive on Monday and will be produced by and featuring Big K.R.I.T.
“The record that [T.I.’s] dropping next week features Big K.R.I.T. on it,” Drama said of the song, which will serve as a street single. “K.R.I.T. produced it.”
Tip, who will be released from his halfway house next Thursday, has been recording tracks since his prison release, amounting to more than a dozen tracks.
“Basically when he’s in the halfway house he’s allowed to still work,” he continued. “So he’s been in the studio working. You know I was in there the other day, by the second day that I went in I had already heard like 13, 14 songs; new songs. Pharrell came the other day when I was in there. He dropped off a couple new joints. He already sent something the day before. That was done.”
