I'm Serious Songwriting Credits by T.I.

T.I.'s debut studio album, released October 9, 2001, through Arista Records and his own Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment imprint. The album's commercial performance was modest on release, but it established T.I. as a raw Atlanta street voice at a time when Luda and OutKast dominated Southern rap. DJ Toomp produced the majority of the album's core tracks, a partnership that would define T.I.'s sound for the next decade. The Neptunes co-produced and co-wrote two tracks including the title track, which also features Beenie Man. Jazze Pha contributed the Phalon Alexander-produced "Chooz U." T.I. wrote all his own lyrics throughout the album; his songwriting credit appears as 'Clifford Harris' across this and his early catalog.
