Before the release of Paper Trail in September 2008, T.I. (born Clifford Harris) was facing immense legal trouble. Following an arrest on federal weapons charges in 2007, the rapper was placed under house arrest while awaiting sentencing.

The original "Paper Trail" album received widespread critical acclaim, with many praising T.I.'s lyrical prowess and the album's cohesive production. The album was certified 5x Platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and is widely regarded as one of T.I.'s best works.
