Release Notes:
His original stage name, T.I.P., stems from his
childhood nickname "Tip". Due to his southern drawl,
fans mistook his name for "Chip", so he began
spelling it out "T.I.P". Upon signing with Arista
Records subsidiary LaFace Records in 2001, he
shortened his name to T.I. out of respect for label
mate Q-Tip. He is also known to go by "Rubberband
Man".
T.I. has four children by three different women.
Their names are Messiah YaMajesty Harris, Domani
Uriah Harris, Deyjah Harris, and King Harris.
He is the leader of a rap group known as P$C (Pimp
Squad Click). His debut album I'm Serious was
released through Arista Records in 2001, which
spawned the single of the same title which featured
reggae vocalist Beenie Man. His debut album included
Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes,who named him the
jay-z of the south, Jazze Pha and Youngbloodz.
However, the album did not sell very well, and he
was dropped from the label. Undaunted, he formed
Grand Hustle Records and released several mixtapes
with the assistance of DJ Drama, which created an
underground buzz. He resurfaced in the summer of
2003 on Bonecrusher's song "Neva Scared". He
parlayed this attention towards the release of his
second album, Trap Muzik. It was more of a success
then his debut album because of the singles "24s",
"Be Easy", "Rubber Band Man", and "Let's Get Away".
The success of the album was followed by some
controversy: while on tour, T.I. turned himself in
and was charged with violating his probation over a
1998 drug charge. He was sentenced to three years in
prison. While there he was granted rights to film
the music video for his introduction at WHTA/Hot
107.9's Birthday bash.
