TI has debuted a new track.
The rapper has teamed up with fellow hip-hop star and producer Pharrell Williams for 'Hear Ye, Hear Ye'.
The star premiered the track while on a radio tour to promote his new book Power and Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets.
Visiting Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex show, TI gave the new mix a spin, while Williams called in to explain the collaboration.
Williams told Funkmaster: "My man came home and I just sent him something and he got to it. You know what it is? He just got home. He's in training. He's getting ready. These are pull-ups, push-ups for Tip."
Meanwhile, TI revealed details of his upcoming eighth studio album during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.
He told the publication: "The first of two album titles I'm debating is Kill the King because in all that I've gone through I've observed how people respond to my circumstances, and I always wonder 'Why y'all coming at me like this?' But I thought, 'How do you expect them to act?'
"Life is a game of chess and the object is to kill the king. If you anoint yourself king, you have made yourself a target. The second one is self-explanatory - Trouble."
The rapper started work on the record one day after being released from prison back in September.
