T.I. delivers “LLOGCLAY” with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, from T.I.’s forthcoming final album “Kill The King.”
This single is an ode to his big brother, manager, mentor, and patna Clay Evans who unfortunately passed away last year. Clay played a major impact in T.I.’s life, helping guide him through his 20+ year career tenure.
There’s currently also a mural on the facade of T.I.’s Atlanta staple, Trap City Cafe in Bankhead, installed earlier last month. Tip shared on social media this week, “What we built as a crew, will never be erased.” This is evident in the single’s artwork, which commemorates Clay in a diamond-encrusted pendant alongside the iconic Hustle Gang pendant.
“Okay, patiently, I wait for my ni*** just like he would wait for me
Hate to see, that f***ing machine only way he breathe
Taking me everything not to take a knee
Couldn’t tell me s*** with Hannah, Snake, JG, and Clay with me
I’m thinking back to better days like, “We can get it back”
But no more Clay, what kind of s*** is that? Remember that
It don’t mean s*** to be rich for life when you living whack
If your relationships ain’t still intact, give it back” – T.I [Genius.com]
This has been a busy week for the Atlanta rapper, comedian, and entrepreneur. He kicked off the week performing standup at Netflix’s Netflix Is A Joke Comedy Fest, followed by Wednesday receiving an ASCAP Pop Award for Drake/21 Savage “Rich Flex” which samples “24s” and closes out the week today performing at the LA County Fair. From there he’ll head to Kazakhstan next week for an arena show.
This single has an accompanying visualizer on T.I.’s VEVO, which can be seen above. Stay tuned for more music, movies, and laughs from the King of the South, T.I. this year. As Tip says, “U DIGGG”.
