'All of my albums are basically a reflection of where I am in my life at that moment,' Tip tells 'RapFix Live.'By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but don't fret: The King of the South has it all figured out. Throughout his career, T.I. has delivered various types of records, catering to different audiences, and though he has continually messaged that his next album, Trouble Man, will be a return to his aggressive style of rap, Tip has a little something for everyone.
"All of my albums are basically a reflection of where I am in my life at that moment in time," T.I. told MTV News' Sway Calloway when he appeared on "RapFix Live." "So the biggest difference in the man that I am today and the man that I was then, I guess musically, it's gonna be more aggressive than Paper Trail.
Back in 2008 when Tip dropped Paper Trail, the album that housed two of his biggest hits — the Justin Timberlake-assisted "Dead and Gone" and "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna — he purposely stayed away from his usual trap music because he was facing federal weapons charges at the time. Now that he has completed his prison sentence, the Atlanta rapper doesn't have the same constraints, so fans can expect to hear hustle-heavy tracks not unlike his 2003 single "Rubber Band Man."
Still, on the upcoming Trouble Man, Tip plans to satisfy fans who not only appreciate his underground work, but those who crave his Top 40 hits as well. He calls it a "high-class problem." "There are so many classes of people and so many different demographics that are looking to T.I. to redeliver their favorite song," he explained. "I've come to the conclusion that when you service one group of those fans, then there's gonna be another group of fans who feel like, 'He should've done what I wanted him to do.' So you just gotta serve each group, so I'm servicing each group at a time."
How much are you looking forward to Trouble Man? Let us know in the comments.
