Faheem Rashad Najm, better known by his stage name T-Pain, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and music producer. He was born on September 30, 1984 in Tallahassee, Florida. T-Pain was born into a Muslim family in Florida. However, he must not have enjoyed his upbringing there, as his stage name stands for “Tallahassee Pain”, describing his experience in his hometown. When he was just 3 years old, a friend of his family, gospel jazz artist and music producer Ben Tankard, let him into his studio to play around with the recording equipment. That event stuck with T-Pain for a long time. At age 10, he turned his bedroom into his own studio.
At age 15, he joined the hip hop collective “Nappy Headz”. Years later, they recorded a cover of the 2004 Akon song “Locked Up”, calling it “I'm Fucked Up”. When Akon came across the song, he immediately signed T-Pain with his label Konvict Muzik. As a result, T-Pain’s debut album was released in December 2005, with the title “Rappa Ternt Sanga”, and through the labels Konvict, Jive, and Zomba. It became a moderate hit, reaching #8 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #33 on the famous overall Billboard 200 chart. While some have always criticized him for it, T-Pain’s clever use of the Auto-Tune pitch correction led to a widespread use of it in the industry. He also started doing T-Pain concert shows in major venues across America around this time.
Since then, the Floridian rapper has put out 5 more studio albums, thus he has 6 in total. The best selling one among them is “Epiphany” from June 2007, which sold 870,000 in the US alone. Meanwhile, the latest new T-Pain album came out in February 2019, with the title “1UP”. The biggest hits in the T-Pain setlist to date are “Bartender” (2007) featuring Akon, “Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')” (also 2007) featuring Yung Joc, and “Up Down (Do This All Day)” (2014) featuring B.o.B. He was also featured on 2011 hit single by Wiz Khalifa“Black And Yellow”, alongside Snoop Dogg and Juicy J. Check where the next T-Pain concert is playing near you on our page above.
