With 60 hit songs under his belt and two Grammy trophies on his mantle, Faheem Rashad Najm, best known as T-Pain, has cemented himself as one of the most influential artists of all time. Upon releasing his 2011 album rEVOLVEr, the “Rappa Ternt Sanga” took an abrupt, but well-deserved, break from the spotlight. But it wasn’t to enjoy his spoils. His non-stop lifestyle was beginning to take a toll on his personal life and it was beginning to affect his creativity. “I was becoming somebody that I didn’t like,” he says. “I was living an unhappy lifestyle and it started affecting my family. I was hurting and scaring a lot of people.” At the height of his career that included a popular smartphone app and a Super Bowl commercial, T-Pain decided to take a two year hiatus from releasing music. While that would be a career ender for other artists, it wound up being a second birth for T-Pain.
