T.I. Confirms August Release Date
“I really do appreciate the support and how hard y’all was going in during the brief hiatus,” T.I. said during a conference all. “The support don’t go unnoticed and I don’t take it lightly. This marks a special day for us, because we putting out the first song off the album, not an official first single, just something to keep the streets warm. It’s properly entitled ‘I’m Back.’ It’s a lot of things that needed to be spoken on, you know. In my absence, it was a lot of things that went down, a lot of matters that needed to be addressed and this was the greatest platform for me to do it…Album drops August 24th, title? I got one but I ain’t gonna say it yet. It was the first song I did when I came home. You get me fresh out the box going in. I’m sure you guys will enjoy it…Middle of April, beginning of May. Y’all gonna start seeing me. Y’all already know, once again it’s on. Like we always do this time.” (Rap Radar)

Earlier today, Gucci Mane’s crew members (including Waka Flocka) confronted some of Jeezy’s boys in an Atlanta clothing store. A fight ensued and Waka’s security detail fired a gun during the melee. No injuries were reported, but an eyewitness said of Waka, “Whoever he is he’s got a big swollen eye now.
Jeezy, who is currently on stage w/ Jiggaman, and Gucci (currently incarcerated) deaded their beef this past January…I guess their entourages didn’t get the memo.
