“Dr. Dre blessed me with a record,” T.I. shares with an enthusiasm that’s contagious. It’s not just any record, though—it’s a collaboration featuring Anderson .Paak and an intriguing artist named Stallone. Yep, you read that right. T.I. describes it as a “dope record” called “Where I’m From,” which already has me vibin’! But it’s not just about laying down tracks; it’s about the spirit of collaboration, as T.I. emphasizes the importance of working with individuals who pour their heart and soul into every note.

With Uranus in retrograde, are artists like T.I. shaking up old norms to carve out fresh paths? It’s a cosmic game of chess, and as experiences weave through the fabric of one’s artistry, we’re left wondering: how will T.I. navigate the royal gambit of the music world in this final chapter of his career? Grab your astrological ephemeris and let’s uncover the juicy details!

“Dr. Dre blessed me with a record,” T.I. said. “It happens to have Anderson .Paak on it and a young lady by the name of Stallone. It’s a dope record. It’s called ‘Where I’m From.’ Dope record.” As for the recording process, he added: “He sent it to me, and I went to the house, and I laid it. And then I laid another verse, and I went back.”

“It’s always for the best outcome, for the betterment of the record. I’m always for someone who I know is dedicated to making the absolute best sh*t we can make,” T.I. concluded.

When Is T.I. Releasing “Kill The King”?

T.I. still hasn’t announced a release date for Kill the King, but he’s been working on it for years. Back in January, he finally shared a lead single titled, “Let ‘Em Know.” At the 2026 Grammy Awards in February, he confirmed that it will be his final album before transitioning away from music.

Back in 2023, he spoke about the name of the project during an interview with TMZ. “I feel like the King of the South moniker is very egotistical, self-gratuitous and it’s a persona that kinda enters the room before I do physically. Big Boi cautioned me of [the title] back when I was coming onto the scene,” T.I. recalled to the outlet at the time. “Big Boi said, ‘It sounds cool. I like it, but understand when you are king you put a big bullseye on your back. You can’t look for no favors. Life is a game of chess, and the name of the game is called Kill The King. That’s what you are setting yourself up for.’ [At the age] I didn’t really think much of it.”
