Rap-Up.com || New Music: T.I. f/ Lil Wayne

T.I. takes it from the Trap to the Nola with his new single “Ball” featuring Lil Wayne. The New Orleans bounce record, produced by Rico Love and Earl & E, will appear on Tip’s upcoming album Trouble Man, due December 18.

“It’s a dope record. It’s high energy, party, Southern club, fancy shit,” T.I. told Rap-Up.com, while producer Rico Love added, “I know we got a bonafide club banger with that one.”

A video was shot last month in Weezy’s hometown of New Orleans. Trouble Man is expected to feature collaborations with André 3000, R. Kelly, A$AP Rocky, Cee Lo Green, and more.
