With 60 hit
songs under his belt and two Grammy trophies on his mantle, T-Pain has cemented
himself as one of the most influential artists of all time. But even he needed
a bit of time to himself to reload. After an eight year run of #1 hits, albums,
tours and a plethora of cameo appearances, T-Pain found himself living a life full of exactly what his name
implies.
Upon
releasing his 2011 album rEVOLVEr, the “Rappa Ternt Sanga” took an abrupt, but
well-deserved, break from the spotlight. But it wasn’t to enjoy his spoils. His
non-stop lifestyle was beginning to take a toll on his personal life and it was
beginning to affect his creative “I was becoming somebody that I didn’t like,”
he says. “I was living an unhappy lifestyle and it started affecting my family.
I was hurting and scaring a lot of people.” At the height of his career that
included a popular smartphone app and a Super Bowl commercial, T-Pain decided
to take a two year hiatus from releasing music. Where that would be a death
knell for other artists, it wound up being a second birth for T-Pain. In the
fall of 2013 a rejuvenated T-Pain returned with one of his biggest hits to
date, the DJ Mustard-produced single “Up Down (We Do This All Day)” featuring
B.o.B. After returning to his familiar spot in the top ten of the charts for 28 straight weeks and
counting, he’s continuing the comeback in 2014 going with the club smash
“Drankin Patna.”
