He may be the King, but T.I.’s life is not as glamorous as it seems. The Atlanta rapper navigates life’s windy road as he reflects on his past on “Wildside,” his dark collaboration with A$AP Rocky. Days before his eighth album Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head drops, Tip officially unleashes the No I.D.-produced song on his YouTube page.

“I’m basically just narrating my childhood and what I come from and giving people some insight into why I am the way I am and why some of the things that happen to me only happen to me and they wouldn’t happen to anyone else ’cause they’re specific in my upbringing,” Tip told Rap-Up. “A lot of motherf**kers just see the outcome and see the things that I go through. They see the effect, but I’m narrating the cause a little bit for ‘em.”
