An intensely violent song titled "Hunt Em Down" by T.I. leaked to the internet a few days ago, shortly after he signed a plea bargain with federal prosecutors. The new leaked song seemed odd, considering part of T.I.'s plea deal was to speak to young children about making good decisions in life. T.I. has released an audio statement (that you can listen to below) saying the song is 2 years old and wasn't meant for public consumption. The track was created shortly after the murder of his best friend Philant Johnson in 2006. "What I want to get out there to people is that this is an unauthorized, unmixed [song]," he clarified this afternoon. "It's not a Paper Trail record. I didn't record the song during any of this [recent] situation [with the law] I got going on right now. It was the first time I stepped into the booth and did a song after Phil had passed. That was the very first record I did, so of course it's a lot of rage, frustration on there. It was never meant to be released. It's not up to the same standard and quality of material I'm recording right now for Paper Trail."I don't want people to get it twisted," he continued. "I appreciate [that] the people are eager to hear me, and they'll take what they can get right now, but that ain't what we putting out there. We got something way better for them. If they like that, then when they hear what I got, they gonna be more than pleased.""MTV News":http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584970/20080407/t_i_.jhtml?rsspartner=rssFeedBurner
