T.I. began the new year with a new television show, a new book, and more importantly a new mixtape. Since being released from prison last year, the self-proclaimed King has been no stranger to re-entering the spotlight. However, one question still remains - can he still make hits? On This Time of Night, one of the standout cuts from F*ck Up Da City, featuring fellow southern emcee Nelly, T.I. might have re-discovered his magic. I know, Nelly on a new T.I. mixtape? Don’t get ahead of yourself, though, as their collaborative sound may actually surprise you, with the two emcees mixing up a smooth southern sound with the help of producer Mars. Beginning with a soulful sounding guitar riff, the intro is reminiscent of old school UGK while Nelly supplies a catchy hook and a surprisingly solid third verse. This slower-paced record is one you can easily ride out to as Tip pulls the reigns back on his flow considerably, which we’ve heard before on the Jazze Pha-assisted Lets Get Away. So, do you think this commercial-appealing style lightning has what it takes to become an official single and give T.I. his first post-prison hit? Let us know by leaving a comments and rating below.

Say what you want about Nelly, but he has a unique ability to deliver a catchy hook without sounding overly corny (which is something most rappers fall victim to). This is far from the best record on Tip's new tape, but its got the most widespread appeal.

It took a LONG time for these guys to make a track together and the end result is good. This production appeals to both of them by Mars. Good Hook by Nelly and T.I.'s lyrics rarely ever disappoint. Sounds like a track 2pac would have destroyed. 4-stars.

Sounds like old Nelly to me, and this isn't a bad track at all. Not a huge fan of TI, but this is a good song.

Wait, what is everyone talking about? Nelly and T.I. have collaborated plenty of times in the past (Country Azz Nigga, Hold Up, Get Loose, She's So Fly etc.), it's not anything new.
It's a decent track. Country Azz Nigga is definitely my favourite collab between them though. |
