Special to the ArgusReview:T.I. – Trap MusikAtlantic Records
He’s one of the artist set to hit the Stage for the annual Homecoming concert. and first of all I’ll tell you that I’m no big rap aficionado.But when I popped the “Trap Musik” into the player, I wasn’t impressed. In fact T.I. impressed me as just another rapper with the anthem of the moment.But then “24’s” came on, a beat I heard and had been humming this summer. That was when I became impressed. Upon listening to the the album, I really like it..The trap ultimately resembles the worlds we are apart of and the lives many fall victim to. The trap represents the hopes which lead many to pursue the rapping game, or the need to build on their cred. A way to get out of the “Hood”With a mix of club records, T.I. offers a blend of struggle with relevance to the “Trap” and the life long struggles of the streets, and the drug game which sucks so many in.Producers on the album include DJ Toomp, Sanchez, Carlos and Dadda as well as Jazze Pha which adds the the aesthetically pleasing “Let’s get away.””No More Talk,” brings the reality of life to the forefront as today the world seems to be populated with imitators who only want the glitz and glamour, but then are lost in the generations.A closer investigation revealed some introspections of the “traps” that many come form.Overall, this is an album you can listen to which will get you thinking. Thinking about the places and situation we all come from.
