He's just begun his year long jail sentence, but T.I. is still rolling out singles from current studio album 'Paper Trail' and keeping his name afloat.
'Whatever You Like' has been entertaining our Stateside cousins since 2008, but is now enjoying attention here in the UK. Produced by Jim Jonsin (the mastermind responsible for Lil Wayne's smash 'Lollipop' and 'Kiss Me Thru The Phone' by Soulja Boy) it's another hit-in-the-making that shows how Tip has cemented himself as a permanent high-flyer in the charts.
Unlike past hits such as Dead and Gone and 'Swagga Like Us', T.I. shows his versataility on 'Whatever You Like', choosing to sing instead of rapping. It's a fairly laid-back and melodic track, similar in parts to 'Lollipop' (the Southern beats, the lead synthesizers) and interestingly, snaps up a sample of 'Redemption' (the theme from Rocky II).
Like 'Dead and Gone' before it, there's no question this won't another top 5 hit for T.I. (Watch the video here)
