New Music: T.I. - Pyro

Yesterday in an interview with Billboard, T.I. announced that his upcoming album would be titled Trouble Man, inspired by the Marvin Gaye classic of the same name.  In the interview, T.I. revealed that this album will be a first for him:

"This is the first project where I'm talking about things that I've experienced before that I'm not necessarily experiencing now cause I'm not doing a whole lot of partying. I do a little bit but not alot... nothing like when I was in that life." 

Listen below to hear "Pyro," his newest single from Trouble Man that is sure to catch on quickly in clubs and on the radio.  Is T.I. on the right track? Let me know by hitting me up on Facebook or Twitter!
