Tip’s latest sets an example for matured vets who still like to get their hands dirty. Dime Trap is dually nostalgic and relevant, and cements T.I. amongst rap’s all-time elite.

Long known for his flashier moments, T.I. still offers up jams and bangers aplenty on Dime Trap, but more surprising is how successfully he's entered his elder statesman era. This is the sound of a man confronting his faults - and growing beyond them.

It's probably not as much of an evolution of T.I.'s style as he claims, but it's a more-than-worthy addition to the rapper's canon.

For the first time in years, the trap music co-architect sounds less like a copyright lawyer and more like a contributor to a culture he loves, even if he gets a little overzealous.

Project #0918

Artist: T.I.
Project: Dime Trap

This is a mix of focused moments and unnecessary extras.

The production is solid and varied. It blends modern trap with some more soulful and experimental touches, just not all of it lands the same.

The structure is uneven. There are strong stretches where the pacing works, then sections where the album starts to feel bloated.

With the exception of the very first track, which i found boring as hell, "Dime Trap" opens up with bangers and i really like the message at the ending of "The Weekend" about not making trap music unidimensional. He chooses good features and has a great flow.

It lacks in cohesion and has some bad tracks, not gonna lie but i still like it.

My favorites: Sequence from "Laugh At Em" to "The Amazing Mr. F**k Up".

Grown-man trap. Solid return to form. T.I. sounds more comfortable than he had in years. It’s mature, confident, and finally taps back into his southern roots without chasing hits.
