Giant Mag Exclusive: Charlie Wilson Talks About New Music and says" I worked with T-Pain before he got hot!"

Please don’t ask R&B legend Charlie Wilson about working with T-Pain UNLESS you’ve done your research.

“Every time I sit down with a writer, they always want to talk about working with T-Pain. T-Pain wrote for me before he got hot,” jokes Charlie Wilson when asked about the latest collaborations on Uncle Charlie. “In between that first album of his and this new one, he blew up. So now people always ask me what am I doing with T- Pain. I’ve worked T-Pain before and no one even asked about it.”

“Matter of fact, when I went to work with T-Pain he had a black board full of names,” recalls Wilson . “When I asked him what was that list for. He said those are the people waiting in line for a song. But I wouldn’t have to wait, because I showed him love early on. You feel me?”

We feel you.

Uncle Charlie, the second solo set by Wilson on Jive Records, is the follow up to 2005’s Gold certified Charlie, Last Name Wilson , where R. Kelly repaid Wilson for years of inspiration by taking on the role of executive producer.
