T-Pain To Host Live Chat, Release ‘Stoic’ Mixtape Sunday

T-Pain will preview songs from his new mixtape, Stoic, Sunday at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET via a live Ustream chat with fans. The Ustream player can be viewed on Yahoo! Music.

The online release party will also serve as a celebration of the rapper, producer and actor's 27th birthday. At the end of the session, the Grammy Award winning artist will release the free album via LiveMixtapes.com.

Stoic features a surprising mix of genres and collaborations with the likes of Pitbull, Travie McCoy, Big K.R.I.T., among others. "It's basically an outlet for me, and it's so many different genres of music on this mixtape it's crazy," T-Pain told Yahoo! Music in August. "This is a collection of [the] kinds of things that's happening in my head, and I'm not going to show any remorse for putting all these genres together and just really hurting the world. I'm not trying to make an urban mixtape. I'm not trying to make a pop mixtape. I'm making a T-Pain mixtape."

The album's first single is "Don't Quit."
