Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head (Grand Hustle, 2012) by T.I.

The 16-track album is good, but not quite as strong as Paper Trail.  Although it is a very well-rounded album.  It has a great intro song which samples Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" and then has material which covers various avenues.  "Trap Back Jumpin'" is reminiscent of Trap Muzik material.  "Guns and Roses" is a great record with Pink that has crossover appeal (but doesn't sell out) and "Hallelujah" has T.I. giving his take on religion.  However, the highlight of the project is Andre 3000's album-stealing verse on "I'm Sorry."
