Rappa Ternt Sanga debuted at 40 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album didn’t commercially perform as successfully as Faheem may have liked, but that was mostly because he had yet to become a popular mainstream artist. Once he was signed, Najm was able to release his debut album: Rappa Ternt Sanga. The cover ended up getting back to Akon, and he liked it so much that he immediately went and signed T-Pain to his label, Konvict Muzik.
While he was with the group, he recorded “I’m Fucked Up”, a track that served as a cover of Akon’s song “Locked Up”. Although the idea of a bunch of young guys coming together and forming a rap group seems unreasonable, it isn’t all too uncommon for aspiring rappers to get their start by joining a larger group. In 2004, Najm joined a rap group called Nappy Headz. Needless to say, his feelings toward the city aren’t the best. Faheem had a rougher childhood, and his stage name “T-Pain” actually means “Tallahassee Pain”. He had a keyboard, a four-track recorder, and a beat machine that he planned on using to produce music for himself. By the time Najm was ten years old, he had completely committed himself to music. When Faheem was just a little kid, Tankard allowed him into the studio and let him fiddle with some of the music equipment. His family was friends with Ben Tankard, a gospel jazz artist and music producer. Faheem was attracted to music at a very young age, however. However, he didn’t particularly connect with the religion. As you may have been able to guess by his name, Faheem was raised in a Muslim household while he lived in Tallahassee. T-Pain, also known by his birth name of Faheem Najm, was born in September of 1985 in Tallahassee, Florida.
