Mobile provider Sprint has partnered with T.I. to offer images, downloads and exclusive ringers from his upcoming album King, before it hits stores.

The album's first single "What You Know" is available in the Sprint Music Store, along with another track called "Ride With Me."

In April, T.I. will be Sprint's featured artist of the month.

Three unreleased tracks plus instrumentals for "What You Know" and "Ride Wit Me" will be made available, along with full music videos for video-enabled phones.

"We are very excited to be partnering with Sprint to launch T.I.'s new album," said Atlantic President Julie Greenwald. "It is through innovative campaigns like this that we are redefining our release strategy, as we are constantly seeking out unique, non-traditional ways to capture the consumer's attention and drive new music sales. T.I. is our next big superstar, and we are thrilled that Sprint has come to the party with such an amazing roll out."

T.I.'s last release Urban Legend proved popular with Sprint customers, as more than a million Music Tones have been downloaded from the album.

King hits shelves on March 28.

YOU ONLY GOOD AS WHAT YOU COME UP AGAINST

Ist leider wie jedes T.I.-Album...eine Hälfte cool, die andere schwach...dachte er würde sich verbessern...rappt auch teilweise etwas müde...

sehe ich leider auch so, dachte das wird der hammer. die jeezy adlibs find ich scheisse, eine hälfte echt gut, der rest schwach und der flow ist nicht mehr so gut, da fehlt der hunger und der rotefaden.

trotzdem drehe ich bei dem intro track durch, der beat

T.I. Pays Final Respects to His Friend



T.I. is currently among the best MCs in his deft ability to fluidly deliver rhymes when performing on stage. However on Monday, May 8, T.I. understandably struggled with his words, as he had to give the hardest speech of his life...


On Monday afternoon, T.I. and about 600 mourners gathered in Atlanta’s Jackson Memorial Baptist Church to pay final respects to his personal assistant and close friend, Philant Johnson, who was tragically gunned down in Cincinnati last Wednesday (May 3).


Encouraged to say something on behalf of his slain friend, a solemn T.I. eventually gathered enough strength to address the crowd at the church’s podium.



"We are family for life," T.I. told the funeral's attendees, as reported by The Associated Press. "I've held the microphone at many concerts and other situations, but I've never had to do anything this hard before. I can tell you that we had a lot of fun spending a lot of money. We rode a lot of different cars and we just had fun."
Later, Big Kuntry King, a rapper under Grand Hustle, shared some of his fond memories with Johnson, as well.


"I used to sit around with Philant and watch his father build things and we bonded," Kuntry said. "To me, he was more than just a friend. He was my brother."


Although three other people in T.I.’s alleged inner circle suffered gun wounds, Johnson was the only member that died following an argument at a Cincinnati nightclub that ended in bloodshed. Johnson, 26, was pronounced dead at a Cincinnati hospital.


T.I., who halted his touring duties following the death of Johnson, will resume his nationwide trek Tuesday (May 9) in New Orleans.


Despite resuming his nationwide tour, though, the loss of his personal assistant and close friend has forced T.I. to strongly re-evaluate his life and career.


"I'm kind of like watching my life change right before my eyes,” T.I. told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, in his first interview following Wednesday’s tragic event. “I'm figuring out whether or not I even want to keep doing this [expletive] right now. I don't know.”


Cincinnati police are still investigating possible leads into Johnson's shooting.
