Singer T-Pain, born Faheem Najm to Muslim parents, is due to release his new album, entitled Thr33 Ringz, on the 30th September, which co-incides with his 24th birthday. Three of the songs have somehow already been leaked to the internet. They are "Silver & Gold"(I dun mixd up silva & gold), "Kaint believe it"(feat. Lil' Weezy) & "Talla Ho Walk"(not worth downloading IMO). His upcoming album also is said to have a sequel to "Buy U A Drank(Shawty Snappin')", which also features Weezy & more than likely, alot of auto-tone. It is due to be called "Snap Yo Fingerz", though will probaly be more like "Snap Ya Thangaz". Other guests due to sound on various tracks off Thr33 Ringz include show stoppa' Chris Brown(C.B), Kanye East(back for more autotone?), Bow Wow(yipi-yo-yipi-yay), Riki Row$$(Bow$$), Ludacris, D.J Khaled, Ciara aswell as Anthony Hamilton. I would bother to mention Busta Rhymes, seeing as he is a symbol of greatness and all(not).
On the 23rd August '08, on his Imeem.com page, T-Pain released a mixtape-type prequel to Thr33 Ringz, called Pr33 Ringz. It is the second official mixtape T-Pain has ever made. The mixtape is mostly him rapping, wif da Nappy Boyz(ut-uh-ooo-eee) providing the singing. There are 2 songs off this mixtape that he uses auto-tune. Appearing on the mixtape is D.J Khaled, Tay Dizm, & Yung Ka$h, to name a few. There is also a track on the mixtape where T-Pain acts like E-40, Soulja Bitch, Shawty Lo, Young Jeezy, Rick Ro$$ and even Lil' Wayne, called "Like I Outta". Although the track was not a diss to any of the stars, he was intending to diss Soulja Boy for taking stabs at him in a track that Soulja Boy did on his album.
