T-Pain

Signed by crossover R&B favorite Akon, Tallahassee crooner T-Pain came out strong with the hit single "I'm Sprung" in the fall of 2005. On his debut full-length, he serves up more of the same: soaring vocalism set to catchy rap beats. Plenty of guest stars help out on the mic, including Young Jeezy, Bone Crusher, Mike Jones, Styles P and Chris Brown.
