T.I. has set August 12 as the release date for his next full-length record, Paper Trail. Due out through Grand Hustle/Atlantic, the album features beats from DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, Keith Mack, JR Rotem, Danjahandz and Lil' C. Kanye West and B.O.B. also helped out on "Top of the World," the LP's likely lead-off single.

Paper Trail was completed during T.I.'s house arrest stay, but the rapper will soon head out on the road for a handful of dates, as well as appear in a film (For Sale) and the forthcoming season of Entourage. Oh, and he also has at least 1,000 hours of community service to attend to after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges this past March.
