T.I and Dr.Dre will collaborate for the first time.
The Atlanta rapper shared that Dr. Dre make an appearance on his upcoming album, Kill the King, alongside Anderson.Paak and Stallone.
On Saturday (Mar 7), AllHipHop shared a clip for an upcoming interview with T.I discussing his final album.
“Dr. Dre blessed me with a record,” T.I. said. “It happens to have Anderson .Paak on it and a young lady by the name of Stallone. It’s a dope record. It’s called ‘Where I’m From.’ Dope record.” As for the recording process, he added: “He sent it to me, and I went to the house, and I laid it. And then I laid another verse, and I went back.”
Earlier this year, T.I gave fans a preview of the Kill the King with the release of lead single, “Let Em Know.” The single was produced by Pharrell Williams and the accompanying music video was shot by Hype Williams.
“It’s always for the best outcome, for the betterment of the record. I’m always for someone who I know is dedicated to making the absolute best sh*t we can make,” T.I. concluded.
The ATL rapper has yet to announce a release date for the project but did share he’s been working on it for several years.
T.Is last release was 2020’s The L.I.B.R.A., his eleventh studio album.
In October 2024, he announced that he was retiring from performing. At the time, his last show, as a rapper, was at 96.1 The Beat’s Jingle Ball holiday concert in Atlanta.
“I appreciate y’all for offering me my last working gig because I do not need the money anymore, and I will not be performing,” he told the station. “I don’t want to do it no more. I don’t want people to pay me to hop around and sweat for their entertainment anymore.”
