T.I. has been prepping for a big year in 2014. The ATL rapper called into DJ Scream‘s Hood Rich radio show and discussed what’s to come from his new home at Columbia Records. Tip clarified that the deal is strictly for his upcoming album Trouble Man II dropping next year. He also said that Hustle Gang is still running independently. But with B.o.B. finally dropping his album Underground Luxury this month, Hustle Gang will hit the ground running into the next year.

He also spoke on Pharrell‘s involvement with his new album. Skateboard P will be executively producing the project and T.I. plans on having similar success as Robin Thicke with their collaborative hit “Blurred Lines”. With Pharrell on board, the album sounds promising and will most likely start off 2014 with a bang.
