T- Pain Takes Over T.O!



Photos by Carol A. Allen

Hip Hip Artist/Singer T-Pain was in Toronto this weekend for several appearances to promote his third studio album, Thr33 Ringz, set to be released on November 11, 2008.

T-Pain, who is signed to Akon's Konvict Muzik label, made a surprise visit at the Tattoo Bar on Queen Street West on Monday night during a 30th birthday celebration for Mona Halem of Lady Luck Entertainment.

Known for catchy tunes such as "I'm In Luv (With a Stripper), "I'm Sprung", "Low", "Bartender" and "Buy You a Drank," 25-year old T-Pain's vocals can be heard on numerous tracks including "Good Life," this year's Grammy-award winning Best Rap Song collaboration with Kanye West. The track also won a BET Award for Best Collaboration and a BET Hip Hop Award for Best Video.

With sales of just over 800,000 on his first album released in 2005, Rappa Ternt Sanga (Rapper Turned Singer) and just over 1,000,000 on his second album, Epiphany, released in 2007, T-Pain has proven that he's no one hit wonder.

At Tattoo, he also proved that his talents go beyond the microphone. He showcased his deejaying skills for about 45 minutes before jumping on to the dancefloor much to the delight of the audience to display some funky hip hop moves. He even took the time out to show a new friend some of his signature moves as his bodyguards watched on.

The all-star celebrity event also attracted several sports players including Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh and Kris Humphries.
