T.I., who is currently under house arrest awaiting trial on weapons charges, recently revealed that he is 50 songs deep into his sixth solo album titled Paper Trail.

Unlike his previous projects where he rapped off the top his head, T.I. is taking time to write down his rhymes this time around, hence the title Paper Trail.

“It's a lot of bullshit out right now,”  T.I. told MTV News   “I'm not gonna front.  I feel it's definitely about time for somebody to come back out and kick this thing back in gear.  The rotation is suffering right now.  I intend to do something about it.  It's just a matter of when.”

A release date for Paper Trail has not been determined.
