After popping up on a bunch of the biggest hits of the year,
T-Pain scored a killer lineup of guests — Lil Wayne (on the
lead single, "Can't Believe It"), Kanye West, Ludacris — for
his third album. "People owed me some favors," says T-Pain, who
produced the entire disc himself. Packed with his trademark
electro-meets-R&B beats and a heavy dose of Auto-Tune-robot
vocals, THR33 RINGZ is state-of-the-art pop, from the
dancefloor jam "Freeze" to "Chopped and Screwed," which pairs a
slow, grinding beat with ELO harmonies.
