Artist Profile: T.I.

Artist Profile: T.I.

Three time Grammy winner Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. aka T.I. is an American rapper and actor from Atlanta in the south of North America is often credited with popularising the genre trap music. Although T.I.’s debut album “I’m Serious” didn’t fare as well as his following albums already the wheels were set in motion for young Clifford. His follow up album “Trap Muzik” released on his own Grand Hustle Records far exceeded his first foray by selling over 100,000 copies in only the first week. This propelled his 2nd album to number 4 on the Billboard charts and paved the way for a slew of chart topping releases, mix tapes and albums over the coming years and notched up an impressive 7 top 5 albums along the way.


 
One thing that T.I. does well is hype up his releases and few hip-hop albums have been hyped more than this his 10th studio album “The Dime Trap”. In an ode to his 2nd album “Trap Muzik” (2003), The Dime Trap is an updating of the sound and has some amazing cameos, collaborations and production from some of the genres biggest talents including Dr. Dre, Aaliyah and Marsha Ambrosius. Little is known about the official release date for this LP but as its been teased for nearly 3 years now it is bound to deliver when it finally drops. There was also good and bad news for T.I. fans, as In a recent interview T.I. stated that he has another 2 albums already conceptualised and ready to record before he decides to hang up the mic, so T.I. is going nowhere any time soon. For a sneak peak of material from his The Dime Trap the Atlanta rapper will be performing 2 shows this weekend. First off, he will be performing at Drai’s Dubai on this Friday (March 23rd) and then again at White Dubai on Saturday March 25th.
