With T.I.’s new album, T.I. vs T.I.P. now slated for July the rubber band man speaks about a few surprising guest spots as well as this being his most conceptual album to date with the face-off between his two alter egos.

“I’m working with everybody who I have an opportunity to work with,” he stated.” “Timbaland, I’m working with Danja [Handz] today. Scott Storch, Mannie Fresh, Wyclef. He came through with some real worldly music and great vocals. Nelly, Lil Wayne, R. Kelly. We reached out to Ciara, gonna see what she says. Akon did his thing for me. A lot of the Grand Hustle producers: Khao, Black Mob. Just Blaze, we did a song called 'Help Is Coming.' I'm basically talking about how they say the industry is suffering. Well, help is on the way. Fret not."

The surprise came when T.I. revealed that Eminem and himself will be working on a song together. As well as hopefully bringing the magic that Justin Timberlake and he brought this past summer on My Love.

"I'm anticipating going in with Eminem," T.I. said. "Eminem, we got a real hot concept that we spoke over the phone. It's gonna be on some real creative shit. JT, Justin Timberlake, we're just waiting on the proper song to get him on my album as well."

Having 60 songs already, T.I. reassured that he (once again) will be working right to the deadline to finish off the album.

T.I. said the album will give you a offering of both T.I. and T.I.P. solo records as well as the two collabing on the same track. Interludes will filter throughout, telling a story.

"It'd be easy for me to go over people's heads," he noted. "Sometime people might see me act a certain way one time and another way one another time. They might not believe the same cat you see dressed so sharp and winning awards and speaking eloquently is the same cat you see fist-fighting with hoodlums outside a nightclub. This album will be an explanation of all of this."

T.I. vs T.I.P. slated to hit stores this July!
