Tallahassee-based MC and vocalist T-pain (born Faheem Najm) came up in a rap group called Nappy Headz but went pro as a solo R&B artist after he recorded "I'm F**ked Up," a personal take on Akon's Top Ten hit "Locked Up." Akon heard the track and took T-pain under his wing with a contract on his Jive-distributed Konvict Muzik label. Produced and written mostly by T-pain, Rappa Ternt Sanga was released in December 2005, led by the Top 20 single "I'm Sprung." Epiphany followed in June 2007. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
