New Video: T.I. – ‘Trauma Bond’

T.I. may still be enjoying the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 success of his comeback single ‘Let ‘Em Know,’ but that doesn’t mean he’s resting on his laurels.

After dropping a slew of diss tracks aimed at nemesis 50 Cent, the “King of the South” is redirecting his royal attention to what he says will be his final album – ‘Kill the King.’

Ahead of locking in the official release date for the LP, TIP is serving up another taste from its tracklist – this time in the form of new single ‘Trauma Bond.’

“We a one of one, ni–a, you a none of none / Me and mine ’til the end of time, it’s a trauma bond (Hahaha) / I say, it’s me and mine ’til the end of time, it’s a trauma bond,” he raps over Mr. Hanky production.

Beyond using its accompanying visual to showcase a united front with his family that includes wife Tiny and their children, the clip also features a prominent nod to HBCU band culture – specifically the Tuskegee University Marching Crimson Pipers (one of the most respected college bands in the country).
