T.I.'s new album Trouble Man is going to be blessed with a special unreleased verse from late UGK rapper Pimp C, according to producer Caviar.
Pimp C recorded the verse specifically for T.I. shortly before he passed away in December 2007.
“I have a song on T.I.'s new album featuring Pimp C, which is one of his last verses that he did before he passed away," Caviar told VIBE. "So Tip was sitting on it, but he got caught up and went to jail. But he told me 'Yo Cavie, keep that sh*t on ice and we rolling with it. Like when I get out it's gonna be on the album.'"
Caviar
Tip was a big UGK fan. Shortly after Pimp C's passing he told MTV that he was "an honorary UGK alumnus for life." The trio had the chance to collaborate in 2006 when T.I. remade UGK's classic song "Front, Back & Side to Side" for his King album.
'Trouble Man' will be released in early 2012.

Pure heat off of Jon's forthcoming mixtape Season 2, dropping December 12.
Russell Simmons is doing what he can to contribute to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In a recent interview with Billboard.biz, the business mogul says he's been in talks with artists who will be recording OWS inspired songs.
"There's a lot of music coming. I don't want to say who until they're dropping these bombs," he said. "These are artists I'm aware of that I pushed to do it, supported their efforts to do it, told them why it was important, briefed them on the demands of the protestors. There'll be a protest song that goes with Occupy Wall Street. I promise you that. Me and you, promise."
Simmons added that there is also an OWS concert also in the works.
"We are definitely discussing it. We're definitely working for permits. We're definitely looking to make a huge impact. We're actively working for permits. We'll have one in our hands soon."
Good to see Uncle Rush lending a hand.

A new video game featuring Soulja Boy is coming in 2012 according to the rapper.
Soulja posted a cover picture of COREleted: The Beginning on his tumblr page yesterday with a caption underneath that read "soulja boy the video game in stores 2012." When asked by a fan about the pic which is also his background on Twitter, Soulja confirmed that the game will be available next year on X-Box and Playstation 3.
Plans for the video game have been in the works for several years. He told Complex in 2008 that the game was coming soon.
"After I put the Xbox 360 challenge up on the Internet, it was over all these video game sites. And a couple video game companies hit me up on my email because I put the email on there too. And hit me up like, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah.' So I was like, 'Oh snaps!'" Soulja said at the time. "So I forwarded to my management, and they forwarded to my label. And now we're doing the video game. It was the same way I got signed for my music. It's like history repeating itself, but instead of music this time it's about video games."

The Supreme Audiovisual Council of France has banned Rihanna's music video for "We Found Love" from daytime television for being too explicit. They believe the clip could inspire "self destructive behavior."
The video, which shows the pop star smoking, shoplifting and engaging in a violent relationship with a Chris Brown look-a-like, model Dudley O'Shaughnessy can now only be shown after 10 PM.
It's the second video this year from the singer that has received some type of ban. Riri's clip for "S&M" was banned in 11 countries after it was deemed to be too raunchy.
Do you think the ban for "We Found Love" is uncalled for?

The Dark Knight Rises is easily the most anticipated movie of 2012. As we inch closer to it's July 20 release date new details about the film are emerging courtesy of director Christopher Nolan and actors Tom Hardy (Bane) and Gary Oldman (Commissioner Gordon).
The film will take place eight years after Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne/Batman is older and not doing so well.
"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state," Nolan told Empire in a new interview.
To make matters worse for The Caped Crusader, he'll be facing his toughest foe yet in the form of the menacing villain Bane.
"With Bane, we're looking to give Batman a challenge he hasn't had before," Nolan added. "With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we're testing Batman both physically as well as mentally."
Oldman says he feels like the decision to go with one of Batman's lesser known opponents was a smart idea.
"I think it was smart of Chris to go with a lesser-known villain rather than — because Heath's performance, first of all, we love the Joker in Batman," Oldman told MTV. "Heath's performance was so dazzling that you got to think, 'How the hell do I top it?' Instead of going for Riddler, instead of going for Penguin, he's gone a slightly different way with the story."
Bane's character is just plain vicious. His fighting style is designed to inflict maximum carnage on his opponents
Bane
"He's brutal. Brutal. He's a big dude who's incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style," Hardy told Empire. "It's not about fighting. It's about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it's nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action."
Empire also provided insight into why Bane wear's his trademark mask.
"He was injured early in his story. He's suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can't survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two cannisters," revealed costume designer Lindy Hemming.
This will be the final film in the Dark Knight trilogy and according to Oldman it will end with a bang.
Commissioner Gordon
"I will say this: There's a conclusion. He touches on the first [film] and weaves it in," he said. "It resolves. I think it's a trilogy. It's just great. The story is terrific. It is just epic."
You can read more about the film in the latest edition of Empire Magazine, which will be available Thursday.
