Reviews
Being a confident and raw artist, T.I. has released yet another succesful album, King. Featuring other famous rappers, King has the right chemistry not only to please those who love rap albums but also to those who never heard of such. No wonder King debuted at the top spot. --Raine 27 January 2007 22:40 PDT
