Rapper T.I says, he is still strong musically

Even though T.I. hasn’t produced any major hits lately, the Grammy-winning rapper believes he can still sell a considerable amount of albums based on his track record.T.I.’s credentials include 10 Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits and 5 platinum albums. But he has yet to make a big splash musically since he was released from jail following an 11-month term at an Arkansas prison on a probation violation. His last album, 2010’s “No Mercy,” reached gold status, but didn’t produce any No. 1 hits.But he says that hasn’t affected him or his future success.“I’m going to always rise above the doubt that may exist about me,” he said in a recent interview. “I have a core audience of fans that are going to buy (my albums) whether I have a hit single out or not. I ain’t got to have a video out. ... When you hear my name and an album, it’s going to be the complete body of work. It’s going to be above standard.” T.I. might have made strides outside of rap, but the 31-year-old said he is still passionate about recording music. His eighth album, “Trouble Man,” will “tentatively” be out in December. His new single, “Ball,” features Lil Wayne.
