ti signs books in la reaches out to andre 3000 for new album

An exhausted T.I. continued his book tour with a signing at Barnes & Noble at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica on Wednesday (Oct. 26). Despite his grueling promotional schedule, Tip happily greeted fans and autographed copies of his first novel Power & Beauty. He is already working on the sequel and a relationship book with his wife Tiny.

He stopped by 97.1 AMP Radio to chat about his next album. “I got about 40 songs so far,” said Tip, who revealed that he’s recorded with Akon, Young Jeezy, Pharrell, B.o.B, and Cee Lo Green. He is also trying to nab André 3000. “Just sent a record to André 3000 to see how he gon’ feel about getting on it.”

Additionally, the star of Takers is looking to get back into movies and is currently reading over scripts to decide his next role. “I want to do an action comedy,” he shared. “I want to do a Bad Boys or Lethal Weapon.”
