T-Pain
“For the past two years, producer/singer/rapper T-Pain and his trusty Autotune effect have ruled the roost in American pop: what started out as a gimmicky novelty has become one of the most bankable sounds around.” – The Guardian
After the release of his critically acclaimed third studio album ‘Thr33 Ringz’ in November 2008, T-Pain released the first single from the album ‘Can’t Believe It’ on March 9th 2009 and toured the UK with four shows the same month.
Top 10 Billboard smash ‘Can’t Believe It’ which also features Lil Wayne has been receiving heavy rotation across UK clubs, radio and on the web. A Casanova song, the track is about “getting a girl to ride with you,” says T-Pain. The track will come in a single bundle along with mixes from Justin Timberlake, FP and the Famous Friends Vs T-Pain Rock mix.
T-Pain spent much of 2007 and 2008 on the top of the US charts with anthems such as ‘Buy U A Drank’ (Shawty Snappin') and ‘Bartender’ and as a producer and featured artist on tracks such as Flo-Rida’s ‘Low’ and Chris Brown’s ‘Kiss Kiss’. With Thr33 Ringz, he showed everyone that he is the ring leader and in true T-Pain fashion, brought a few of his friends along for the ride including Chris Brown, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T.I, Diddy and Mary J. Blige.
Tallahassee, Florida native, T-Pain burst on the scene in 2005 with his debut ‘Rappa Ternt Sanga’ and the unforgettable singles ‘I’m Sprung’ and ‘I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper)’, a song that maintains the title of the highest selling ring tone. T-Pain continued his success with his sophomore effort Epiphany in 2007, which spawned the No.1 airplay record of the year in the US, ‘Buy U A Drank’ (featuring Yung Joc) and the ubiquitous No.1 hit ‘Bartender’. The ‘Epiphany’album produced over 7 million digital sales confirming T-Pain as a phenomenon within the recording industry.
In 2008, T-Pain took home his first Grammy for Best Rap Song (for ‘Good Life’) with Kanye West, which also garnered a BET Award, where he was the most nominated artist of the night.
