This allowed T-Pain to jumpstart his career as a solo artist. In 2002 he founded his own label, Hard & B. and soon caught the spotlight as a solo artist when his song "Fucked Up", a reworked version of Akon's "Locked Up", gained popularity in the region.

T-Pain's lyrics are often very personal and compassionate, unusual for many of the artist's colleagues, and his music has a harder edge than the standard smooth sound of most R&B artists. T-Pain also experiments with the now world-famous "Crunk-n-B" style of music made famous by artists such as Ciara. T-Pain has found musical success in using a unique vocoder style within his music, giving his voice a unique sounding tone, enhancing his recognisability as a solo artists, and also in a number of collaborative tracks. Trivia The "T" in T-Pain actually stands for Tallahassee, Florida, and the "Pain" expresses the difficulties the artist faced in growing up in the area. T-Pain had the song "I'm Sprung" ghostwritten for a girl named Amber who T-Pain later married. T-Pain recently finished a couple of songs for Chilli's upcoming debut solo album.
