"Epiphany" is the second album from R&B singer/rapper T-Pain. The first official single from the album was "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')".

"Epiphany" debuted at #1 on the U.S. "Billboard" 200 with about 653,798 copies sold in its first week. [Katie Hasty, [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003598112 "T-Pain Soars To No. 1 Ahead Of Rihanna, McCartney"] , Billboard.com, June 13, 2007.] It was released on June 5, 2007, only slightly surpassing Rihanna's album, "Good Girl Gone Bad", which was also released on June 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. As of April 27, 2008, the album has sold over 850,000+ copies in the U.S. It has been certified x2 Platinum. The intro, "Tallahassee Love" featuring Nappy Boy Entertainment's J Lyriq slightly samples Tupac Shakur's hit song "California Love". "I Got It" and "Suicide" deal with the subject of HIV/AIDS and seem to be interconnected. The girl from "I Got It" considers suicide after she reveals she was tested positive for HIV, to which T-Pain responds he had sex with her without protection. He then considers suicide as well. These tracks were a mental departure from T-Pain's typical rhythm.
