SOHH ATLANTA

Last night Tip's new album Paper Trail leaked on the internet. I am actually surprised that it took this long, but alas it's out there and is probably being downloaded at lightening speed.

We all remember what happened the last time I put you all onto the location of the link, so I will not be doing that again, ever.

And I guess since me and Mr. Harris are cool it wouldn't be the best idea to even give you all hints like I usually do. SOHH Let's just say its out, and if you are computer savvy then I have every confidence that you'll find it.

However, after listening to Tips new album in it's entirety, I've got to give the man props, because the project is quite good! Wayne calls his himself the "greatest rapper alive", Jay-Z insists he's the "best rapper alive", but Clifford Harris, Jr. might actually be the best of the best as it relates to the south.

My favorite cut from the album is titled "Every Chance I Get". The Toomp produced track is classic TI with enough swagger and confidence in the lyrical content and delivery to stay on repeat in my ipod for at least two weeks.

It's clear that he took the frustration and stress from his life and focused it into the music. The 15 track project is packed with bonafied hits.

SOHH far this year, there hasn't been one hip-hop album that's been executed as properly as Paper Trail.

Though Lil' Wayne's album is presently dominating the Billboard charts, it's clear that The Carter III can't hold a flame to Tip's new album as far as production and delivery.

Paper Trail seems to also be echoing the embattled rappers current mantra of "piece and positivity". In the true essence of the words, Cliff has reunited with legendary beat maker Toomp on four tracks for this album. It's clear that they have settled their beefs between each other.

You won't find any rap beefs, or pot shots taken at anybody. I didn't hear that other Bankhead rapper's mentioned on any other song outside of "No Matter What".

T.I. seems to be on a whole other level in terms of his music delivery.

Anyone who know reads SOHH Atlanta understands that I am very crticial of today's hip-hop music. As a fan, I want to be surprised, inspired and down right excited to buy ones music. Alot of rappers haven't been able to pull that off as of late.

But thankfully for me T.I. isn't one of them!

Though I know a lot of people are going to be downloading the "King's" newest album illegally, hopefully you'll all will still support his music with your wallets on September 30th.

I mean, shouldn't good music be rewarded?

Talk to y'all lata,
