The King of the South comes out with his 8th studio album. This album has a old school feel to it, as well as a new direction T.I. might take. The old school samples start from the beginning of the album, with "The Introduction". This track explains the whole theme of the album, which is that Mr. Harris will always be trouble and he doesn't care what you think. This mentality is continued for next 5 tracks(G Season, Trap Back Jumpin, Wildside, Ball, and Sorry). Track seven (Can You Learn) shows Tip's forgiving side by asking a certain women to forgive for his troubles. The next track is "Go Get It", which has that signature T.I. feel with a booming bass. The new direction comes on songs like "Guns and Roses" and "Cruisin" that show a different side of Tip, which is love. Songs like "Wonderful Life" and "Hallelujah" are by far the deepest songs the King has written. Both these songs show forgiveness and redemption, and "Wonderful Life" is a conversation that T.I. is having with his deceased father. The old school feel come back with Akon singing a portion of Elton John's "Your Song" on the chorus. Overall this album shows T.I.'s usual toughness, along with a possibility of a new step in his career. (5 out of 5 stars)
