The Dime Trap is coming soon!
Tip may have been in the headlines for the wrong reasons last week regarding his fallout with Iggy Azalea, but he still kept his focus on upcoming music. With his VH1 series potentially coming to an end, the Atlanta rapper sat down with Rolling Stone to discuss his much-anticipated album, The Dime Trap. Like previously reported, Tip is geared on returning back to his original trap muzik sounds – which was evident in the surprise Da’ Nic EP a few weeks back.
While he remained quiet on Dr. Dre’s exact role for his new album, he did touch on the two hitting the studio for a few session, which you can take a look at below.
You did a session with Dr. Dre for The Dime Trap . . .
Yep. A few of them.How much of that is intended for the record?
[Laughs.]Well, what was that experience like for you?
Dre’s the homie, to be honest with you. I’ve never seen somebody so meticulous about music before. The only thing that I can say was a similar experience was when me and Eminem did those songs together. The way Em is about a verse, that’s how Dre is about production. It’s a very tedious, meticulous, nerve-wracking process. But the outcome is immeasurable. You just can’t describe the difference in the magnitude of production that goes from what we’re used to doing and what he’s used to doing.What can we expect for the rest of The Dime Trap?
You can expect Da’ Nic but a little more articulate. A little more detail. Da’ Nic is kind of like giving you your dessert first. It’s gonna be a little more introspective. Different aspects of the lifestyle.
