Young Jeezy & T.I. confirm Collaboration Album

It's official, according to various sources Young Jeezy and T.I. will join forces for a collaboration LP set to release sometime in 2012.


Jeezy states "Me and Tip actually were together and we [talked] about it," he said. "We've just hit the ground running and been doing so many records that I don't think it's impossible. And we've known each other [long] enough to put something like that together, and I definitely think that the city would need it, because it would be a good look. And it would be an amazing album release party, by the way."
