T-Pain’s cartoon special

According to Billboard, rapper/producer T-Pain recently finished work on a new Nappy Boy All Stars mix tape and his latest album, RevolveR.

Fans discovered another one of his projects last night (March 7). He created and co-produced an hourlong cartoon special, Freaknik: The Musical, on Adult Swim. That is a cable TV network for 18+ that shares channel space with the Cartoon Network.

The show Freaknik: The Musical is about the revival of a wild and raucous music festival that took place in Atlanta, Georgia in the early 80s to late 90s.

Several stars lent their voices to this project, including Rick Ross, Young Cash, Snoop Dogg, Sophia Fresh, Lil Wayne and Charlie Murphy.

T-Pain will play the role of the Ghost of Freaknik past, spoofing the Charles Dickens classic.

He told Billboard.com, "There’s so many more dimensions you can cover in a cartoon. You don’t really have to deal with any actors; you don’t have to get locations or set times. You can just express more … and it’s funny as hell."
