T.I. - KILL THE KING - CD
Capping off a dominant, ground-breaking career spanning nearly 25 years, T.I.'s legacy speaks for itself. The rap pioneer boasts three Grammy Awards, five certified-Platinum albums, including the 4x Multi-Platinum Paper Trail and 2x Multi-Platinum King, and over 30 million singles sold worldwide. His influence on the Southern hip-hop landscape is immeasurable, and KILL THE KING serves as the definitive victory lap. T.I. shares his inspiration behind the album title by saying, "KILL THE KING is all about killing the ego."
To celebrate the release of his momentous final project, T.I. has unveiled the official music video for his latest single, "And Won't" featuring R&B superstar Summer Walker, will be releasing later today. The stunning visual is an ultimate homage to his city, shot entirely at the iconic Mercedes Benz Dome in Atlanta, home to the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United, two cornerstone franchises with which T.I. shares deep, longstanding ties.
The road to KILL THE KING has already been paved with massive success. The album campaign kicked off with the triumphant reunion of Tip and super-producer Pharrell Williams on the hit single "Let 'Em Know." The track completely dominated the airwaves, becoming the first record released T.I. year to be Certified Gold by the RIAA, and securing the #1 spot at both Urban and Rhythmic Radio as well as hitting Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. T.I. continued to elevate the album's sonic landscape by collaborating with the esteemed HBCU Tuskegee Marching Red Pipers on the deeply resonant "Trauma Bond," before teaming up with Pharrell once again for the swagger-heavy anthem "Mr. HIM."
