A message to the rap game: the King of the South will fight anyone for the crown! π
In 2006, T.I. entered a defining chapter of his career with the release of KING β an album that served as both an Atlanta coronation and a challenge to the rap game. Already riding high off the success of Trap Muzik and Urban Legend, T.I. escaped a massive album leak to drop the unofficial soundtrack to his first Hollywood blockbuster, ATL. This may have marked a multi-platform takeover in his eyes, but how did his numerous enemies feel about this new crossover appeal? Tune into this month's ThrowBLKs as we feature the notable moments in T.I.'s early years, from the literal origins of trap music to the 2004 battles (on and off mic!) that tested his "King of the South" moniker quickly. All of this ties in beautifully to our track-by-track retrospective of KING, highlighting our favorite tracks, verses and stories that truly makes this T.I.'s greatest album.
