Grammy Award-winning rapper T.I. will release his third effort, Paper Trail, on Aug. 12. He's been hard at work on the album over the past few months, recording in his home studio while under house arrest for pending weapons charges.
The album's first single, "No Matter What," is currently available for purchase here, or you can stream it here.
Luckily, for his fans (and his record company), it appears he finished the album before being sentenced to a possible year in jail or 1,500 hours in community service, back in March.
T.I. will also continue to uphold the rapper-turned-screen actor tradition (Common, Mos Def, Ice Cube, etc., we're looking at you), and will start in the upcoming For Sale, as well as guest starring in HBO's Entourage.
