T.I. has been hard at work promoting his debut novel, Power & Beauty.

After signing copies of his book at a Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica on Wednesday, Tip stopped by 97.1 AMP Radio to talk about his music. He reveals that out of the 40 songs he says he recorded, collabortations with Cee Lo Green, Pharrell, B.O.B and Akon are in the bag.

Yet he says he still trying to get the Outkast member to be down. He says, “Just sent a record to André 3000 to see how he gon’ feel about getting on it.”

The 31-year-old says he wants to do more acting, like “a Bad Boys or Lethal Weapon.” He also says he's working on a sequel to Power & Beauty and a relationship book with his wife, Tiny.
