Data Insight

T.I. wrote seventeen of the eighteen tracks on his final album. The exception is the opener, 'A King's Thought', credited solely to The-Dream under his legal name Terius Gesteelde-Diamant, with no Harris credit at all. Everywhere else he is the first name on the sheet, usually with one or two collaborators, though 'Where I'm From' runs to ten writers with Dr. Dre's team attached. The producer list reaches back across his whole career, DJ Toomp and Organized Noize alongside Dr. Dre and Pharrell Williams, which reads as a closing statement rather than a current sound.

Kill the King is T.I.'s twelfth and final studio album, released on June 26, 2026 through Grand Hustle and Empire Distribution. His first album since The L.I.B.R.A. in 2020, it runs eighteen tracks and draws on producers from across his career, including DJ Toomp, Organized Noize, Dr. Dre and Pharrell Williams. Guests include Anderson .Paak, Usher, Summer Walker, Jeezy, 2 Chainz and T-Pain.
