Paper Trail

Written mostly while the Atlanta rapper was awaiting trial for federal weapons charges, this highly successful record departs from his usual freestyle method in favor of written, introspective lyrics. The production, featuring contributions from Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Swizz Beatz, expertly balances massive crossover pop anthems with grounded street narratives. It achieved massive commercial dominance, spawning multiple number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
