There is no denying the fact that T.I has the skills with his words when he uses that southern drawl in his raps. Without ever knowing anything about T.I you can tell the man carries a healthy confidence. T.I comes off as someone who is doing something that they SHOULD be doing. Beside the fact that (for those of you who are jaded towards "rap") T.I leans more towards the rap than the hip-hop, its impossible not to deny the quality, sincerity and truth in his voice. One of the highlight tracks on the album, Castle Walls is a crossover jam that will appeal to a wider audience with assisted vocals from Christina Aguilera. This song is just simply good and I implore you not to like it. No Mercy also contains That's All She Wrote with Eminem that will be given the mandatory repeat treatment of one month. I am a few weeks in right now on that trend but still can't lock down Eminem's vocals. Good luck with that because Eminem goes NUTS and drops one of his best verses ( the 2nd verse) in years! You can check out the rest of the album by purchasing it HERE when it drops on Dec 7th.
