"I'm Flexin'" is a song by American hip hop recording artist T.I., featuring vocals and production from fellow Southern rapper Big K.R.I.T.. It was officially released on October 4, 2011, as a buzz single for his eighth studio album Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head (2012). The songs release indicated T.I.'s return to the music business, following his 11-month prison sentence.
Since his release from incarceration, T.I. has appeared on and remixed songs from the likes of Future, 2 Chainz, Drake, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy. "I'm Flexin'" serves as his first release as a lead artist, since his release from a half-way home on September 29, 2011. On September 23, 2011, XXL announced that DJ Drama revealed T.I. was planning on releasing a song-his first since going back to federal prison last November for a probation violation, on Monday, September 26, both produced and featuring Big K.R.I.T. The songs release was delayed, but later leaked on September 30, 2011. It was officially released to digital retailers, like iTunes and Amazon on October 4, 2011.
On October 22, 2011, a behind-the-scenes video was released. It was directed by T.I.'s frequent collaborators Motion Family and was filmed in T.I.'s old neighborhood, Cedar Avenue, in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
