In the time since T.I. has been out of prison, he has been releasing music non-stop. Unlike his previous prison release, T.I. seems to be hungrier. While his next album will not come until next year, T.I. is still releasing singles. His big comeback single was the Big K.R.I.T.-assisted, "I'm Flexin."

The song did enough to re-establish T.I., who has recorded tracks with several artists. T.I. also helped give Future a boost when DJ Drama helped him get on the "Magic (remix)." In an effort to get his name back out there, T.I. revealed he may release a mixtape this year.

During an interview with Rolling Stone, T.I. discussed the name of his next album. Currently, Tip is debating between two titles. It is going to be a tough decision, said T.I. T.I. said his album may be titled Kill the King, because the object of Chess is to kill the king. A long time ago, T.I. revealed he was the king of the South. With his recent trouble, T.I. said his next album could also be called Trouble.

Focused on regaining the spot he surrendered in 2009, T.I. has been jumping on all the hot tracks. Since he has been gone, the hip hop scene in Atlanta has a few new faces. Future, the man behind "Tony Montana," is among them. His "Magic" single had been doing well.

DJ Drama pointed T.I. in Future's direction and the "Magic (remix)" came about. Another hot song out is "Niggas in Paris," as nearly every rapper has freestyled to the track. T.I. has strong relationships with both Jay-Z and Kanye West. But, since they released their Watch the Throne, they have been distant.

T.I. is a fan of "Niggas in Paris" and has plans of remixing the track. Unlike the other artists who have gotten on the beat, Tip wants to make it an official remix. T.I. said if he is turned down, however, he will still push the track. T.I. said he played the song for Kanye West, who played it for Jay-Z, but they have not gotten back to him yet.
