Soon, we are going to missing one of the true pioneers of the hip-hop genre. While he might not have the global impact of Tupac, Eminem, or Jay-Z, T.I. is one of the leaders of the trap subgenre. We are in this somber mood because he recently went on the We In Miami podcast announcing his retirement from rap. Multiple reports, including AllHipHop, broke the news on October 18.
T.I. said, "It’s time to evolve beyond a career as a rapper. There are a lot more people who are carrying the torch and pushing the culture forward." He is also moving on because he wants to pursue other avenues, especially in the business world. We said it once and we will say it again. If this is true, we wish T.I. the best in the future when it is all set and done.

In addition to that news, he announced his final album, Kill The King. However, it will be a double LP, with the other side called, Kiss The King. T.I. has just officially started the rollout for the project, with Kiss The King starting things off. He and Kamo Mphela teamed up on a beach-party-ready single, "VACAY."

Quotable Lyrics:
When you start playin’ games, I’m the cheat code
She said I give you one shot, that’s a free throw
And if you make that, then you can keep goin’
Ignore a n****, she said I ain’t worth a acorn
I said you’re hard on her, man, and I’ma pray for him
Gumstream, F1, we in real form
