T.I. returns to his roots with a new song called 'My Potna.'

Released on the DJ Scream & DJ MLK '2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards' mixtape, the song finds T.I. reminiscing on his past as he looks to take his career forward as an independent artist. Of course, tales from the trap abound, with T.I. talking about affiliates he's had and the obstacles they've all had to go through together.

The beat bangs in the speakers with its heavy bass. It's the type of song that could restore some momentum for T.I.'s career should it take off. While T.I. has transformed his life and become a superstar, the memories of the past remain vivid, and the self-proclaimed "King of the South" sounds as focused as he's ever been on this song.
