Freeload: T-Pain + Tha Bizness = T-Wizness
- story THE FADER
Just when we thought we were getting closer to that T-Wayne album we’ve so openly lusted after, Mr. Big Ass Chain seems to have shifted his collaborative attention to working with one of our newest production obsessions, Tha Bizness. The duo inspired Pain to revisit the days before he turnt sanga on “Special Guest,” which is somehow no less the serenade for Pain’s rapping. “It’s So Easy” features Sophia Fresh (actually a group of three) and finds Pain using some type of pocket autotune that doesn’t equalize his voice so much as bend it into teenage gnome territory.

Freeload: Sophia Fresh f. T-Pain and Cee-Lo, “Super Bad”
- story THE FADER
The first single from T-Pain proteges (and Nappy Boy Digital signees) Sophia Fresh is notable for it’s ad lib-only Cee-Lo guest appearance, its endearingly cheesy hook (”I’m super bad/ They want some of my McLovin”) and the fact that Teddy Penderazdoun NEVER DOES SONGS WITH GIRLS. Seriously, you can count all the cameo king’s opposite sex collabs on two hands, and even then it’s a bit of a struggle after the first three. Ladies! This is the Duckie of urban radio we are talking about here! You are missing out! Side note: we hope this signals a return to the glory days of “Crunk N B.” Does this mean we can finally give NSS16’s “Oopdeewopdee” the shine it deserves? 2004, you were a heady time…
