T.I. shares the cover art for "The Dime Trap" and reveals it's "coming freakishly soon."

Fans have been eagerly waiting for T.I. to drop his 10th studio album, The Dime Trap. The album was announced a while ago but it looks like he's getting ready to release the project in the near future. Earlier this month, he released two new singles, "Wraith" ft. Yo Gotti and "Jefe" with Meek Mill. Now, Tip shared some new details on his upcoming project including the cover art and one of the major features that'll be included throughout the project.

T.I. announced that Dave Chappelle will have a prominent role on his forthcoming album, The Dime Trap. The rapper revealed that the comedian will serve as the voice in his head on the album. Tip shared a short trailer for the project with the announcement.

"All my life all I wanted to do is be great," Chappelle says in the teaser. "If the stakes are everything, you'll tell yourself anything you need to hear to survive. Everything I say is the truth and that's a lie. And that's the mothafuckin' truth." Following Chappelle's intro, T.I. previews an upcoming song off of the project.

While no release date has been set, T.I. did reveal that we could expect the project to drop "freakishly soon." At this point, it's just exciting to know that we're about to get a brand new body of work from T.I.

Peep the trailer below.
