Even with all the controversy and his own mistakes, T.I. is still a personal favorite. Grand Hustle is already a few weeks in on their second stint in two years sans-Clifford. Hopefully they can keep everything afloat until Tip comes home next fall…for good.

No one man ever won a championship by himself and while B.o.B. is having quite the year, even he cannot place the entire label aboard his shoulders. T.I.’s upcoming album No Mercy hits shelves December 7. Longtime label mate Young Dro recently spilled the beans about the albums guest features which include:

– Chris Brown
– Trey Songz
– KiD CuDi
– Kanye West
– Scarface
– Eminem
– Rocko

And of course, Young Dro himself. I would have loved to see Big Kuntry and Macboney on the list though. While it always felt like Tip was missing a step this musically, I’ve still got high hopes for this album. I hope I’m right.
