Tallahassee-based MC and vocalist T-Pain (born Faheem Najm) came up in a rap group called Nappy Headz but went pro as a solo R&B artist after he recorded 'I'm F*ked Up,' a personal take on Akon's Top Ten hit 'Locked Up.' Akon heard the track and took T-Pain under his wing with a contract on his Jive-distributed Kovict Muzik label. Produced and written mostly by T-Pain, Rappa Ternt Sanga was released in December 2005, led by the Top 20 single 'I'm Sprung.' Epiphany followed in June 2007. Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
