By the Numbers
Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head is T.I.'s comeback after a second prison term, its title nodding to Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man. He wrote all of his own lyrics, and the album pairs his trap roots with high-profile guests including Andre 3000, Pink, Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky, and Cee Lo Green. Production from DJ Toomp, Pharrell, T-Minus, and No I.D. keeps it polished and pop-aware.
T.I.'s eighth studio album, released December 18, 2012, through Grand Hustle Records and Atlantic Records. It was his first album following a second prison sentence, serving nearly a year for probation violations. André 3000 appears on "Sorry," produced by Jazze Pha. P!nk appears on "Guns and Roses," produced by T-Minus and Nikhil Seetharam. ASAP Rocky appears on "Wildside," produced by No I.D. and Brian Kidd. Meek Mill appears on "G Season." Lil Wayne appears on "Ball," produced by Rico Love and Earl & E. Cee Lo Green appears on "Hello," produced by Pharrell Williams. R. Kelly appears on "Can You Learn." The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200.
