T.I. will release his next album in the summer, according to manager Jason Geter.
The rapper, who has recently completed a one-year prison sentence for a federal weapons charge, is currently working on a record to accompany his upcoming movie Takers.
"We did a deal with the film studio Screen Gems for the movie Takers with T.I. Both the album and the film are coming out at the end of the summer," Geter told MTV. "So, yeah, we have a release date."
Discussing the record, Geter said: "We tried out some stuff with these new guys called the TrackSlayers. We're actually working with a lot of new guys. At this point, you don't really chase names. It's about the quality of the material."
Further producers including Danja, The Runners, The-Dream and Trey Songz have also been linked to the record.

T.I. is recording tracks for his forthcoming album King Muzik in a private studio. T.I.'s manager Jason Geter speaks about T.I.'s album and says it will be out late this summer.
"We did a deal with the film studio Screen Gems for the movie 'Takers' with T.I. Both the album and the film are coming out at the end of the summer," Geter said. "So, yeah, we have a release date." "Takers," a film about a bank heist interrupted by a detective, stars Zoe Saldana, T.I., Chris Brown and Hayden Christensen and hits theaters August 20.
"As for producers, we've been working with DJ Toomp and Lil Cee, who's one of our in-house Grand Hustle producers," Geter told MTV News. "We worked with Danja, the Runners, and we tried out some stuff with these new guys called the TrackSlayers. We're actually working with a lot of new guys. At this point, you don't really chase names. It's about the quality of the material. As for features, we did a track with The-Dream, and Trey Songz is on another hook."
The-Dream told MTV News that his collaboration with T.I. "sounds great. He's sounding beautiful. His spirit is really good. He's got the eye of the tiger."
Regarding the direction of the album, Geter said the Atlanta MC is still figuring that out. "There's no theme as of yet," Geter said. "The sound is definitely not a bunch of samples."
