T.I. – Kill The King [Album Stream]
T.I. releases Kill The King, an 18-song farewell album with Anderson .Paak, Usher, Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Summer Walker, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and more.
Few rap retirements arrive without theater, and T.I. has never been allergic to theater. On Kill The King, the Atlanta veteran turns the crown into the conflict: the “King of the South” persona, the ego that came with it, and the long shadow of a career that helped make trap music a national language.
The album is being presented as T.I.’s final solo full-length, and he treats that framing seriously without making the record feel frozen in ceremony. Across 18 songs, Kill The King moves between sharp Southern rap muscle, reflective grown-man writing, and the kind of glossy crossover instincts that have always been part of his catalog. Grand Hustle and EMPIRE handle the release, with the tracklist pulling in Anderson .Paak, The-Dream, T-Pain, Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Summer Walker, Usher, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, OMG Girlz, Marching Crimson Pipers, SWEATA, Young Dro, Buddy Red, Billie Lennox, and EJ Jones.
The strongest moments are built around history rather than nostalgia. “Dope Boys Academy” links T.I. with T-Pain, Jeezy, and 2 Chainz for a Southern rap summit, while “Where I’m From” brings Anderson .Paak into a different pocket. “Gorgeous” with Usher and “And Won’t” with Summer Walker open up the smoother side of the album, but the project keeps returning to the tension in its title: how do you close a chapter when the crown itself became part of the character?
The official videos already give that idea a visual shape. “Let Em Know” reconnects T.I. with Pharrell and Hype Williams for a bold reintroduction, while “Mr. Him” keeps the pressure high with another Pharrell-produced single. “Trauma Bond,” featuring Tuskegee University’s Marching Crimson Pipers, adds one of the album’s more ceremonial Southern touches.
If this really is the last solo album from T.I., Kill The King does not try to erase the myth. It puts it on the board, knocks it over, and lets the legacy speak from there.
