T.I. will head to prison to serve his 366-day sentence within the next two months, but before his departure, he’ll finalize the re-release of his best-selling album to date, Paper Trail.
MTV News reports that the Atlanta rapper will include five additional tracks on the project. T.I. will choose from a number of previously recorded songs.
Though he didn’t comment on exactly which songs will make the cut, possible choices include two tracks that didn’t make the commercial release of Paper Trail: “Like I Do,” featuring The-Dream, and “My Dear,” featuring Ciara.
“I’m still in the process of picking the songs,” T.I. told MTV News. “But I’m also still recording. I’m able to record any time—through the best of times and through the worst of times, I’m still able to record. It may change the sort of song you do, but you never can tell. You never know until that moment gets there.”
The Grand Hustle MC may also select a Kanye West verse in his possession, a gem that was put on the backburner to make way for West’s guest appearance on “Swagga Like Us.”
An official date for the Paper Trail re-release has not been set yet.
