T.I Blaze on the album title:
Ehiz: So where did you get the album name from?
T.I Blaze: Basically someone from my team saw an artwork online, liked it and shared it to my WhatsApp group. It was a picture of the head of a goat, with a military shirt. That was where I got the name ‘El Major’. It basically means ‘the best’ –
Ehiz: So you’re feeling like you’re the best, huh?
T.I Blaze: No, never bro! [laughs] The best of T.I Blaze, as of now. That’s it.
