Album information

The album was scheduled to be released on August 12, 2008, then September 2, successively on September 9 but it was finally pushed back to September 30, 2008. T.I. had been working on the new studio album while under house arrest on pending gun charges.[3][4] The album's title, Paper Trail, comes from T.I.'s decision to write down lyrics on paper for this album.
