By the Numbers
Paperwork is built around Pharrell Williams, who executive produced it, produced several tracks, and appears on others, while T.I. writes all of his own verses. It is a deliberate modernization, pulling in younger Atlanta and rap figures like Young Thug and Iggy Azalea. "About the Money" with Young Thug became an early signature moment for that collaboration.
T.I.'s ninth studio album, released October 28, 2014, through Grand Hustle Records and Columbia Records. Pharrell Williams is the dominant creative force, producing five tracks and appearing on three. "No Mediocre" featuring Iggy Azalea and produced by DJ Mustard became the lead single. Young Thug appears on "About the Money," produced by London on da Track, an early high-profile appearance for Young Thug. DJ Toomp returned for three tracks including "About My Issue" featuring Nipsey Hussle and "On Doe, On Phil." The-Dream appears on "Let Your Heart Go." Usher appears on "At Ya Own Risk." The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200.
