The Perfect Storm is the eighth studio album by American rapper Twista, released through his record label Get Money Gang and EMI on November 9, 2010.

It debuted at number 38 on the Billboard 200 with 14,939 units sold in its first week. By 2014, the album sold 61,000 copies.[9] The album was largely produced by the Legendary Traxster.

Singles

[edit]

The first buzz single was originally scheduled to be "Ringtone" which featured additional production by Timbaland and leaked via the internet in June 2010.[10] Because of its leak the song was scrapped as a single choice and "I Do" was released instead on July 13, 2010. The album's lead single is Make a Movie. It was released on August 24, 2010. The single originally featured R&B singer T-Pain rather than Chris Brown (both of whom made a song together), but was changed due to sample clearance.
