Faheem Rashad Najm (born September 30, 1984),[4] known professionally asT-Pain, is an American singer, rapper and record producer. He is known for popularizing creative use ofAuto-Tunepitch correction, often used with extreme parameter settings to createelectronic-styled vocal performances. Blending its use withR&B andhip-hop sensibilities, T-Pain became a prominent figure in both genres throughout the 2000s.

T-Pain began his recording career as part of the hip-hop group Nappy Headz. He released his debut solo mixtape,Back @ It independently in 2004, and signed withAkon'sKonvict Muzik, in a joint venture withJive Records, the following year. His 2005 debut single, "I'm Sprung", was quickly met with commercial success, peaking at number eight on theBillboard Hot 100 and receivingplatinum certification by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its follow-up, "I'm 'n Luv (wit a Stripper)" (featuringMike Jones), peaked at number five on the chart; both served as lead singles for his debut studio album,Rappa Ternt Sanga (2005). Despite moderate critical and commercial reception, his second album,Epiphany (2007), peaked atop the USBillboard 200 and spawned theBillboard Hot 100-number one single "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" (featuringYung Joc), as well as the top-40 single, "Bartender" (featuring Akon). His third album,Three Ringz (2008), was preceded by the single "Can't Believe It" (featuring Lil Wayne), and his fourth album,Revolver (2011), was preceded by "5 O'Clock" (featuringWiz Khalifa andLily Allen). His fifth album,Oblivion (2017) sustained long-term delays and was met with critical and commercial failure, serving as his final release on amajor label.

Meanwhile, T-Pain saw continued success as a guest performer on nine Hot 100-top ten singles—"Shawty" byPlies, "Cyclone" byBaby Bash, "Good Life" by Kanye West, "Shawty Get Loose" byLil Mama, "Got Money" by Lil Wayne, "Blame It" byJamie Foxx, and "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)" byPitbull—which includes two singles that peaked the chart: "Kiss Kiss" byChris Brown and "Low" byFlo Rida. The latter was named third in theBillboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade and receiveddiamond (10× platinum) certification by the RIAA. "Good Life" and "Blame It" both wonGrammy Awards forBest Rap Song andBest Rap/Sung Performance, respectively, from T-Pain's total of 12 nominations for the award. Outside of music, he founded the record labelNappy Boy Entertainment in 2005, which has signed fellow rapperTravie McCoy. Furthermore, he has produced and written material for other artists, andvoice acted in film and television includingTom & Jerry,Freaknik: The Musical,The Cleveland Show,Squidbillies, andWe Bare Bears.

Early life

[edit]

Najm was born and raised inTallahassee, Florida, to parents Aliyah, aBahamian chef,[5] and Shasheem, who founded the Homeboyz to Men program.[3][6] Najm was brought up in aMuslim household, but he has expressed his lack of interest in the concept of religion.[7][8] At three years old, he got his first taste of the music business when a friend of the family, gospel jazz artist and producerBen Tankard, allowed him to spend time and "twist the knobs" at his recording studio. At age ten, Najm turned his bedroom into amusic studio, using a keyboard, a beat machine, and a four-track recorder.[9][10]

Career

[edit]

1999–2006: Early career andRappa Ternt Sanga

[edit]

T-Pain joined the rap group Nappy Headz in 1999. Through a mutual connection with music promoter TJ Chapman, he was discovered byRocco Did It Again! and Mike Blumstein—co-founders of the independent record label Chase Entertainment—to whom he signed.[11] His stage name is short for "Tallahassee Pain", and was chosen because of the hardships he experienced while living there.[8] He released his debut mixtape,Back @ It in 2004, and later released the song "I'm Fucked Up", a slightly altered cover version ofAkon's then-popular 2004 single, "Locked Up". Akon himself came across the song and immediately offered T-Pain a deal with his label,Konvict Muzik.[12][13] While T-Pain was offered other record deals, with the highest-bidding being US$900,000, Akon promised the young artist a personal mentorship in the industry. Meanwhile, Blumstein and Rocco remained involved in T-Pain's careers as joint co-managers.[14] Afterward, T-Pain began singing instead of rapping, and used this inspiration to begin recording for his debut studio album,Rappa Ternt Sanga. Released on December 6, 2005, through a joint venture withJive Records,[3] the album reached number 33 on theBillboard 200, and has since receivedgold certification by theRecording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The album was supported by T-Pain's debut commercial single, "I'm Sprung", which was released in August 2005 and peaked at number eight on theBillboard Hot 100, as well as number nine on theHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Its follow-up, "I'm 'n Luv (wit a Stripper)" (featuringMike Jones), served as the album's second single; it was released in December of that year and peaked at number five on the former chart,[15] and number ten on the latter. The third and final single from the album, "Studio Luv", was released in October 2006 and failed to chart.

2007–2008:Epiphany

[edit]

In mid-2006, T-Pain began work on his second album, now with theZomba Label Group as well as his previous labels. The album, titledEpiphany, was released on June 5, 2007. The album sold 171,000 records in its first week, reaching number one on theBillboard 200.[16] The record has since sold 819,000 records in the United States.[17]

The album was preceded by the lead single "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" (featuringYung Joc), released in February 2007. The song reached number one on both the Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming his first to peak atop both charts. The album's second single, "Bartender" (featuring Akon), was released in June 2007 and reached number five on the Hot 100 and number nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The third and final single from the album, "Church", was released in October 2007 and failed to chart in the United States.

Speaking in May 2007 to Pete Lewis ofBlues & Soul about his reason for naming his second album 'Epiphany', T-Pain stated: "One of the two dictionary meanings of epiphany is 'a sudden moment of insight or revelation'. And to me the title 'Epiphany' signifies the moment I realized that, to make the best music I can, I needed to just go in the studio and be myself, and not concentrate so hard on following other people's formulas."[18] While promoting his second album, T-Pain made guest appearances on multiple songs by other artists. T-Pain was featured on "I'm a Flirt" (remix) byR. Kelly, "Outta My System" byBow Wow, "Baby Don't Go" byFabolous, "I'm So Hood" byDJ Khaled, "Shawty" byPlies, "Kiss Kiss" byChris Brown, "Low" byFlo Rida, and "Good Life" byKanye West.[19] For two weeks in late 2007, T-Pain was featured on four top ten singles simultaneously on the Hot 100 chart.[20]

His performance on West's "Good Life" won theBET Award forBest Collaboration and was nominated in several other categories.[21][22] In 2008, the song won aGrammy Award forBest Rap Song.[23]

Video games

[edit]

T-Pain has confirmed his involvement in the development of the upcoming video gameGrand Theft Auto VI, although his role has not been specified.[78]

Musical style

[edit]

T-Pain defined in 2005 his own music style as "Hard & B", a play onR&B.[79] In 2024, T-Pain said thatcountry andgospel music were major influences on his music.[80]

He mentionedGarageBand andLogic Pro as the software he uses to produce his own beats.[81]

Use of Auto-Tune

[edit]

Musically, T-Pain is best known for popularizing the use ofAuto-Tune, a pitch-correcting audio processor, for vocals, with the effect turned up to give the voice a robotic quality. He has used this effect throughout his singing career, starting in 2003.[82] This use of Auto-Tune had been pioneered byCher in her successful 1998 single "Believe".[83] T-Pain, who had been looking for a way to make his voice sound unique, was inspired to use Auto-Tune after hearing theDarkchild remix of the 1999 song "If You Had My Love" byJennifer Lopez, which makes occasional use of the effect.[84] He was also inspired in part by a similar sound achieved byRoger Troutman in the 1980s (using atalk box) andTeddy Riley in the 1990s (using both talk boxes andvocoders).[82]

After the success of T-Pain's first two albums, his use of Auto-Tune was replicated by a number of hip-hop artists, includingSnoop Dogg on the 2007 single "Sensual Seduction",[85]Lil Wayne on the 2008 single "Lollipop",[86]Kanye West on the 2008 album808s & Heartbreak (on which T-Pain served as a consultant),[87]the Black Eyed Peas on the 2009 single "Boom Boom Pow", andDiddy – Dirty Money on the 2010 albumLast Train to Paris. In a November 2008 interview, T-Pain revealed that Diddy had paid him for the right to use Auto-Tune in T-Pain's style on the then-upcomingLast Train to Paris, and he felt that other artists should do the same.[88]

In 2009,Jay-Z released the single "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)", which criticized the practice. The song directly mentioned T-Pain, with the lyrics "You niggas singing too much/ Get back to rap, you T-Paining too much."[89] Jay-Z has insisted that the song was not a personal attack on T-Pain, and that he was simply criticizing a trend that he felt had run its course. T-Pain has said that he loved the song.[30] However, he felt personally hurt by a general backlash against the use of Auto-Tune that began at around the same time.[84] Nevertheless, he has continued to use Auto-Tune, feeling that it is simply part of his musical style, as opposed to jumping on a trend as was the case for other artists.[84]

Personal life

[edit]

T-Pain has been married to Amber since 2003. They have three children: one daughter, Lyriq, and two sons Muziq and Kaydnz Kodah (born May 2009).[90][91]

On April 1, 2013, T-Pain revealed that he had cut off his iconicdreadlocks, stating "We must all learn to adjust with our surroundings. Those who get stuck doing the same things for too long are bound to get left behind the strong who press on & reinvent themselves. Also good news hair grows back."[93]

On August 30, 2016, T-Pain's niece, Javona Glover, was stabbed to death in a localWalgreens store in his hometown ofTallahassee.[94] In 2017, a suspect in the case was found dead in an apparent suicide.[95]

T-Pain's brother died in early 2019.[96]

Legal issues

[edit]

On April 28, 2007, T-Pain refused to shorten his performance atRadio One's Spring Fest Concert inMiami, which caused police presence to increase backstage. After concert officials aborted his performance of "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')", police chased him and his entourage off-stage and out of the premises and detained them.[102]
