T-Pain Talks Drag Racing & "Let Me Through"

T-Pain is a new man. "I definitely still have my alcohol songs, my stripper songs and things of that nature, but I think this [album] is more just about being happy," the R&B crooner told Fuse. He's exploring new territory like never before, beginning with his track "Let Me Through," which features Lil Wayne.

"'Let Me Through'  was actually a submission for the [upcoming The Fast & The Furious sequel Furious 7] soundtrack," he explained. "Once it got denied, I think they said it was too slow or something like that, I was like, 'Well, I'm going to use it.' Myself and DJ Monte made the track. There was nobody I had to answer to, so I just kind of [thought], 'Well, we can put this out on our own, and we can just do this.'"

The racing vibe may also make its way to the music video. "Me and [Lil] Wayne both got Bugattis," he says. "It was a challenge to Wayne to see if he'd really want to race these things in the video or something. I'm pretty sure we're gonna do that."
