Epiphany is the second studio album by R&B singer-songwriter T-Pain. The first official single is "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')".

Epiphany debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with about 171,126 copies sold in its first-week, and has sold 819,000 by May 2008[4][5] It was released on June 5, 2007, only slightly surpassing Rihanna's album, Good Girl Gone Bad, which was also released on June 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. This was T-Pain's first album to be released on his label, Nappy Boy Entertainment. The Intro, "Tallahassee Love" featuring J Lyriq slightly samples 2Pac's hit song "California Love". "I Got It", and "Suicide" deal with the subject of HIV/AIDS, and seem to be interconnected.
