Southern Hospitality - The King of the South is gearing to drop his ninth album, Paperwork (Oct. 21), and it will be executive produced by Skateboard P. Tip told All Hip Hop, "Aside from DJ Toomp, it’s the first time I’ve allowed a producer to come in and kind of shape my sound as he saw fit... When I first sat down with Pharrell, he told me to think ‘out of the stratosphere' ... we’re trying to rewrite history.”This may be the first time Pharrell executive produces an entire T.I. album but they already have a string of hits together. Check out their paper trail of bangers now.(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for BET)
