I wanted to make a song for those folks."

After catching the ear of songwriter and producer Akon, he was quickly signed to Akon's label Konvict Records and rapidly followed in his footsteps to the top of the charts. T-Pain's previous singles from his gold-selling debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga have sold in excess of 6 million ringtones to date. The sophomore album Epiphany is produced, written and arranged by T- Pain.
