Did you know that incarcerated rapper T.I.’s album, No Mercy, drops in 5 days? You’re not alone.

T.I.’s 7th studio album, No Mercy, is set to be released on December 7. Guest artists include Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, chris brown, Eminem, and more. The tracks were culled from 80 songs recorded by the rapper after his release from prison to an Atlanta halfway house in December 2009.

A source close to T.I.’s camp says the father of 5 is taking his current confinement very hard. T.I. keeps in constant daily contact with his family and staff of his Grand Hustle Records via phone calls and emails.

His wife, Tameka Harris, visits him twice weekly as opposed to once a week like she did last year when he was locked up at the same Arkansas correctional institution.

In almost every communication with his camp, T.I. expresses deep sorrow and regret for any inconvenience his actions has caused them.

“I feel bad for Tip. He’s taking it hard,” said the source. He is so remorseful and determined to change his life when he gets out.”

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, T.I.’s release date is 09-17-2011.
