In addition to premiering his new video for “I’m Flexin’” on “106 & Park,” T.I. kicked it on the couch with hosts Terrence and Rocsi. Decked out in his wintery gear, the King spoke about moving on from the “hiccups” of his past, his first novel Power & Beauty, upcoming album (“I’m trying to have something ready as soon as February”), VH1 reality series “Family Hustle,” and collaborative album with B.o.B., The Man and the Martian.

“We been goin’ in. We’re actually flirting with the idea of doin’ an album together called The Man and the Martian,” he told Sway on Shade 45’s Sway in the Morning show. “We just been compiling material, he and I together and it’s been coming out real good.”

Tip says the success of The Throne’s album caught his attention, but he’s been toying with the idea for a while now..

“Of course they [Jay-Z and Kanye West] did inspire me, but I always have wanted to do a collaborative album. Even when Jay did that with R. Kelly,” Tip said. “I spoke to Usher about doing one of those before. The stars and the moon just hadn’t aligned appropriately.”
