When you think of country music, the name T-Pain doesn’t usually come to mind.<\/p>\n
But he’s a fan, and he’s even written country songs for other artists.<\/p>\n
He’s made MILLIONS doing it, but you won’t see his name in the credits.<\/p>\n
“Country and gospel music, that’s where all of my harmonies come from. I wrote a lot of country songs and stopped taking credit for it. Because as cool as it is to see your name in those credits . . . the racism that comes after it is just like, ‘I’ll just take the check.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
