The King of  screwing up several times over 30 year old rapper, Mr. Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr also known as T.I.P and T.I. was released a month early from his Arkansas state improsonment facility today and allowed to go to what is known as a half-way house. 

Of course our favorite new channel that makes money off the ignorance and low attention span of some  blacks every since Flavor Flav showed them the power of the black audience; VH1 was there to offer T.I. his own reality show. 

VH1 is teaming up with multi-platinum recording artist and America’s top selling rapper T.I. as he re-adjusts to life as a free man after being incarcerated for nearly a year in a Federal prison in Arkansas.  In the new untitled T.I. series premiering December 5 at 10PM*, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the most private and personal moments of one of today’s hottest, most sought after Grammy winning artists as he is reunited with his wife and kids and thrust back into society at this crucial juncture in his life.

The half hour 10-episode series follows the “King of the South” at his most vulnerable state, as he is released from an 11 month Federal prison term, his second stint in three years.  Along the way we will see T.I. re-acclimate back into his life as a father, husband, son and friend, as well as a musician, a clothier, a businessman, and an actor (he last starred in and produced Sony’s film TAKERS which opened number one at the box office the weekend prior to his arrest).  We will also witness T.I. behind the scenes in studio as he goes about recording yet another likely Grammy-award winning album.  All the while with T.I. needing to abide by a new set of restrictions and obstacles due to his probation terms.  Can the King stay on the straight and narrow while juggling the chaos of his kingdom?

Viewers will also get a glimpse into the very loving and always fascinating relationship between T.I. and his wife Tameka (aka “Tiny”), who has faithfully stood by T.I.’s side through it all and who herself was a former member of 90′s Grammy winning pop group Xscape.  Tameka and T.I. are passionately in love, but both know that this previous incarceration has to be his last.  The mother of two of T.I.’s children, along with her own fifteen-year-old daughter, Tameka was forced to hold down the fort while T.I. was behind bars.  Viewers will also be introduced to the OMG GIRLZ, a sizzling new up-and-coming pop group that Tameka manages.  With T.I. back on his throne, we will watch as he reclaims his kingdom, rebuilds his businesses, and reconnects with his family and friends.  Most importantly though, we will see T.I. adjusting to life with a new set of rules, so as to never again repeat the devastating mistakes of his past.

“Viewers have always connected with T.I. and we are definitely thrilled to show the next chapter of this incredible artist’s riveting life with this new series,” said Jeff Olde, EVP, Original Programming and Production VH1.  ”T.I is such a multi-talented artist and actor, and though he has had some setbacks, there is no doubt he will use his considerable talents to get back on top of both the music and film business.”

T.I. has  also finalized a book deal with Harper Colllins and will release a novel titled “Power & Beauty” in October. The book, which was co-written with David Ritz, is a fictional story surrounding two childhood friends torn apart by dangerous dealings on the streets of Atlanta.

Upon his releaese TI Tweeted:

“Feels great to be back where I belong … Back in the arms of those who need me the most,” Tip said Wednesday morning on Twitter, shortly after leaving federal prison in Arkansas.

“The storm is over & da sun back out. IT’S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!”

Yeah Yeah Ninja.. Till Next Time is what the prison guard probably said….. How long do you think it will be before T.I. gets into trouble again?  I most certainly hope that T.I has learned his lesson and will stay on his most golden path that God has laid out for him. He has had chances that people under normal circumstances would not be afforded. If anyone can say they are blessed T.I. can definitely claim it.
