T.I. Drops Pharrell-Produced "Let Em Know," Signaling Return and Previewing "Kill The King"

The single serves as an early look at his long-teased Kill The King album without an announced release date.

Overview

  • The track arrived January 18 after T.I. wiped his Instagram and posted a barber-chair video revealing he cut off his braids.
  • Fans and fellow artists responded enthusiastically to the fresh look and new music, reading it as a deliberate reset to his early-era image.
  • The release is positioned as the first preview of Kill The King, a project T.I. has described as his final album, with timing still unconfirmed.
  • T.I. previously said in 2023 that the project would be a double album with a side titled Kiss the King and mentioned an NBA YoungBoy feature, though current plans remain unclear.
  • This marks his most notable music move since 2020’s The L.I.B.R.A. following a stretch focused on stand-up, including a December 2025 debut comedy special and continued podcasting.
