Whether you like him Auto-Tune or not, T-Pain is a winner. The ‘Buy U A Drank’ singer and rapper proved he doesn’t need to be enhanced in order to produce a hit as he is the latest artist to be inducted into the Boombox Battle Hall of Fame.
With his track ‘Stoicville,’ T-Pain blew through every opponent he was put up against for four straight weeks. The song takes us away from the Auto-Tune vocals he’s used in the past to showcase honest rhymes about his life both past and present. The song will be featured on his upcoming album, ‘Stoicville: The Phoenix,’ which likely will be out in 2015.
“Whoever thought a youngin’ from a city full of rattle snakes was ever gon’ make it out the grass patch / Seven heels had me looking for a better deal, a hood n—-, I couldn’t count on the Nasdaq / Coming home from school I had tears in my eyes / They was picking on me and wouldn’t give me my hat back / Now I got enough hats to give away, it’s better days, I refuse to have flashbacks,” he raps.
T-Pain had to go head-to-head with O.T. Genasis, Big Sean, OG Maco and Nicki Minaj. In each round, he successfully took the majority of the fan vote.
T-Pain joins Chris Brown, Tinashe, Michael Jackson, Trey Songz and Lil Durk in The Boombox Battle Hall of Fame.
