Hip hop superstar T.I currently serving a 10 month sentence for breaking the terms of his probation in 2010 took time out to send another letter to his fans thanking those who have stood by him and those who have inspired him during this difficult time. The talented Atlanta born rapper famous for his incredible rhymes; cool rap songs and stunning T.I music videos also revealed that he hopes to start a fresh when he`s released from prison in one month’s time.
T.I said: “I’m going all the way back to square one, like I’m fresh in the game and never sold a record. Back on some I’M SERIOUS, TRAP MUZIK shit,”
“Now it goes without saying that I hate I had to come back to prison for these 10 months but I am truly grateful for the knowledge, growth and understanding I’ve received from the experience.”
The talented rap star`s last studio album “No Mercy” hit the stores on December 7 2011 and spawned the hit T.I songs & T.I music videos “Get Back Up” featuring R&B superstar Chris Brown and the second official single released “That’s All She Wrote” featuring Eminem. The T.I music video for this single was cancelled due to T.I returning to prison.
Despite more T.I singles and T.I music videos been scheduled to released from this album his record company decided to release no further singles. The star is reportedly set to start work on his next studio album as soon as he`s released from prison in the next few months.
Read T.I`s open letter to his fans below:
What up world? This will be my last message from Forrest City. Just reaching out and sending my love, respect and appreciation to all who have been ridin’ with me throughout this chapter in my life and not just recently but since all the things started happening one after another back in ’06. From Big Phil’s murder to my beautiful little angel Leiah being called home to heaven, to my arrest in ’07, the 1st prison sentence in ’09, to this last journey that I’m nearing the end of. A lot of people who are aware of all that has happened to me in my life say that there aren’t many men who could have endured and withstood so much pain, pressure and turmoil while managing to remain sane and keep their wits about them. I must say that I wouldn’t have been able to do so without God’s grace and having a strong support system behind me every step of the way. So often we spend time acknowledging the presence of “haters” and all the negativity they send our way but we don’t take the time to acknowledge and appreciate all the ones who love and support us and supply us with the positive energy we need to overcome. We complain about the pain so much that we don’t even notice how much stronger, wiser and better of a person the suffering has allowed us to become. I heard Pac say once “To live is to suffer and to survive is to find meaning in that suffering.” I later found out it came from an author by the name of Friedrich Nietzsche. When I heard Pac say that it was just some hard shit to hear your favorite rapper say before he kicked a verse. Now that I’ve gone through it and grown from it those words have a real true meaning to me. I know this won’t be my last battle with adversity but it has truly prepared me for whatever else may come in the future. For that also I’m thankful. Now it goes without saying that I hate I had to come back to prison for these 10 months but I am truly grateful for the knowledge, growth and understanding I’ve received from the experience.
Next time you hear from me I’ll be back out there with you. Doing for those who can’t do for themselves and speaking for those whose voices are never heard. When I touch down, I’m going all the way back to square one, like I’m fresh in the game and never sold a record. Back on some I’M SERIOUS, TRAP MUZIK shit… But until then RESPECT to all who deserve it. I’ll be back at you in a minute.
