T.I. and B.o.B. are reportedly playing around with the idea of jumping on the collaborative album bandwagon.

Both emcees have big studio projects coming up next year but the Grand Hustle labelmates plan to find time for trading verses on a full length LP too, with the idea originally starting as a joke but eventually growing into something more concrete.

"The joint album, it actually started as a joke," Bobby Ray told MTV News. "Tip would always refer to me as the Martian, and in one of his lyrics, he said, 'It's the man and the Martian,' and we said, 'Man that could be an album title.' We kinda just played around with it. But it seems to be taking form in a very organic way."

However, the rapper warned fans their plans were not 100% confirmed just yet:

"Even this, this is a conversation that we had, this is an idea. It's not set in stone. It's not concrete as of yet."
