This week, T.I.<\/a> re-entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 <\/a>with \u201cLET EM KNOW.\u201d On Wednesday (March 4), the self-proclaimed Kang of the South reflected on the song\u2019s success during an In Conversation interview with Billboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s surreal, in a way,\u201d says T.I. \u201cIt\u2019s humbling that relevance still exists within this art that I\u2019ve been able to present to the world after such a long journey. I just appreciate the fans receiving it.\u201d<\/p>\n

More from Billboard<\/p>\n

\u201cLET EM KNOW\u201d marks T.I.\u2019s 58th entry on the Hot 100 (No. 38 this week) \u2014 his first since 2014\u2019s \u201cNo Mediocre\u201d \u2014 and will appear on his final album Kill The King. Produced by Pharrell, the song finds T.I. in prime form, allowing his bravado and steely delivery to take center stage while Skateboard P\u2019s bristling production radiates nostalgia, transporting listeners back to the mid-2000s. The chemistry between T.I. and Pharrell dates back to their 2006 collaboration \u201cGood Life\u201d and their chart-topper on Robin Thicke\u2019s \u201cBlurred Lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both have an unwavering passion for the craft,\u201d he says of his working relationship with Pharrell. \u201cHe has an enormous amount of success and things he can be doing, but music calls him. It urges him to create in so many different genres just out of sheer, genuine passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside his final album rollout, T.I. has also found himself in a clash<\/a> with 50 Cent. The rap duel has dominated headlines, with 50 posting photos of T.I.\u2019s wife Tiny on Instagram. T.I. and his children, Domani and King, responded <\/a>with diss tracks. While 50 hasn\u2019t replied lyrically, T.I. prefers to respond in the booth rather than online.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, the reason I took to the booth was because it was the most mature, level-headed, peaceful, and organized display of disdain that I could have done,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n
