I'm late and I'm full of aware of it. I'm so tied up with finishing my senior year and working that I really have no time to even get online anymore. Except to check my myspace. I had a little free time the other day and realized that Tuesday was the day T.I.'s new single premiered. So I went looking for it. To listen to the full track, go to his official website TrapMuzik.com.
I had it minimized while browsing the net and I played it like 10 times..no lie and I absolutely love it.
I had lost interest in the site because of what was going on with him and what was not going on with him..but now I can say that I'm back. Tha-King.com is back. Give us a few weeks to revamp.
Give me time to graduate and go on vacation.
Go on over to TrapMuzik and take a listen, if you haven't already to No Matter What.
Rapper T.I. pleaded guilty to federal weapons possession charges in court today (Mar. 27th), and will receive a sentence that includes prison time after he completes community service. In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, Clifford “T.I.” Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs. According to officials, the CEO of Grand Hustle Entertainment will be sentenced to serve 1 year in prison after completing the community service. His prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior, they added. Dressed in a grey business suit, the rapper expressed to the judge that he understands the terms of the agreement.
“I’d like to thank God for blessing me with a second chance in life and success,” T.I. said to the media. “I’m looking forward to turning this negative time in my life into a positive. I know I have a long road of redemption to travel.”
U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said that in addition to the 1 year prison sentence and the 1,500 hours of community service, T.I. will have to serve 3 years of supervised home detention (house arrest) and pay a $100,000 fine. That’s a far cry of the original sentence, which amounted to close to or more than 20 years! But if he “fails to fulfill his obligations,” a much longer sentence will be the consequence.

Well...This sounds much better than the original sentence. Keep T.I. and his family in your prayers!
Sorry for the late Easter wishes. Word has it T.I. actually got to step out from his house arrest on Sunday and got the chance to visit a church with his family. Pictures to come! Stay clicked.
It's been a while. I've been so busy with finishing up my last year in high school and getting my college 'thang' going. I haven't forgot about the site. Trust, I haven't. Well..I had to pay the bills the other day..so how could I? T.I. hasn't been making headlines, but in a way I think that's good.
However, I received an email from a Grand Hustle rep because she apparently seen and likes the website...and she said if I need any information, ask. And you know I did...for all of the fans. We must know what's going on. I'm patiently waiting for a response, and once I get it, you'll be the first to know what the deal is. Stay clicked. We're coming back. I'm serious this time.
Official: T.I. & Tiny expecting a baby.
| 4 Comments
Rapper T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) and his on again, off again girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle of the '90s R&B group Xscape, are expecting another child together, the musician's rep confirms.
Cottle, 32, recently posted the news that the couple are expecting a baby boy on her personal Myspace page, which has garnered many congratulatory comments from friends and fans.
This will be the fifth child for T.I., 27, and his second with Cottle. The couple are already parents to son King Harris, 3.
News of the pregnancy comes in the middle of T.I.'s house arrest sentence in Georgia for illegal weapons charges. The rapper was arrested last October for allegedly trying to buy machine guns and silencers. He was released on a $3 million bond until the outcome of his trial, which is still pending, but must be under home confinement.
You've probably noticed already a few changes to the site...the header, the colors..etc. Yeah, I had to switch some stuff around. The header and the font/colors was getting annoying! I don't have time at the moment to make a full layout so I only made small changes. Don't worry though..I know what needs to be done around here. Trust me, it will get done. I also dropped a few affiliates and added some new ones. We are currently accepting affiliates! Send me an email over to ThaKingCom@gmail.com.
I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! I know it's been kind of dead around here but expect some changes in 2008. We're coming back. Thanks for sticking with me and the site!

T.I.'s Lawyers Claim Evidence Was Illegally Seized
| 2 Comments
T.I.'s lawyers gave a hint of how they plan to defend their client through motions filed in court on Monday seeking to suppress evidence seized from the rapper's vehicle during his October 13 arrest on federal weapons charges. The motions claim that the evidence against him and statements he made to authorities were illegally obtained. The Associated Press reports that attorneys for the rapper (born Clifford Harris) claim his car was searched without a warrant, consent or probable cause. They also claim that his detention might not have been appropriate, that statements he made to authorities might not have been voluntary and that agents may have failed to honor his rights. The motions don't go into details on the basis for the legal challenges, but state that more information will be filled in later. A judge had not made a ruling on the challenges at press time.
I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
I thank T.I. for the inspiration. I hope he's spending quality time with his family and close friends and not letting the circumstances down this great day or days to come for him.
I thank my family and friends for the love and support!
I thank you everyone who visit this website everyday and make it worthwhile to continue to put forth effort.
T.I. Keeping Busy With Charity While Under House Arrest
| 3 Comments
I'm always going to be in the community giving to those who are in need,' rapper says.
It wouldn't be T.I. if he just sat on his hands. The King of the South may be on house arrest, but he's still working diligently during his home confinement.
It was announced a few days ago that he's already begun recording his 2008 release, Paper Trail, and on Friday (November 16) he called MTV News to tell us about his more immediate plans. Next week, he'll be spearheading several charitable efforts.
"I want people to know that no matter what the situation is, I'm always going to be in the community giving to those who are in need and helping people out," he told MTV News correspondent Sway. "That's what I've always done."
T.I. has also put the call out to his troops for some major things next week. His Grand Hustle record label and King Foundation will be handing out 400 turkeys in Atlanta: 200 on the west side, 200 on the east side. There will be Thanksgiving dinners prepared and served for the needy at Club Krucial on Thanksgiving as well. T.I. is also assisting the Hosea Williams Feed the Hungry and Homeless Foundation by reaching out to his friends in the hip-hop community in hopes of raising $150,000 for a massive turkey giveaway at the local Brady Stadium. T.I. says the goal is to serve 20,000 to 30,000 people.
As of right now, the Grammy winner cannot speak on his weapons charges and impending trial, but Sway said T.I. was upbeat and seemed excited about next week's activities.
"I was impressed by his positive attitude and jovial mood about his life right now," Sway said.
T.I. Hard At Work On New LP, Paper Trail
| 2 Comments
After going through most of his career without writing any of his rhymes down, T.I. has begun putting ink to pad again, inspiring his forthcoming album's title, Paper Trail.
According to his rep, T.I. is making the most out of his house arrest on gun charges by recording an album in his home studio.
While under house arrest, the MC faces very stiff restrictions from the court, including being banned from drinking alcohol and having all his visitors go through a background check and be subjected to a search by authorities. According to one of his representatives, his engineer was given clearance to visit Tip a week and a half ago, and the two began working immediately.
After writing his lyrics on paper for his first couple of albums, Tip decided to follow the practice of peers such as Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Ja Rule and compose rhymes in his head, never writing anything down. His rep says with this LP, he wanted to spend more time concentrating, hence the title Paper Trail.
The album probably won't be out until next year, and obviously it is too early to foretell who he will be working with. Some of the producers he has in mind still have to be cleared by the courts before they can enter his house, his rep said.
Meanwhile, Tip's Grand Hustle label will continue to churn out material.
DJ Drama — who had his own issues with authorities earlier this year (see "DJ Drama Speaks Out About Arrest: 'I Took The Fall For Hip-Hop' ") — releases his long-awaited official Gangsta Grillz LP on December 4; the first single is called "5000 Ones." T.I. is featured on the record along with Diddy, Yung Joc, Young Jeezy, Nelly, Twista and Willie the Kid.
Tip also has a cameo on Big Kuntry King's first single "That's Right"; the video recently debuted on T.I.'s social-networking Web site, streetcred.com. Big Kuntry's album My Turn to Eat, comes out in February. Meanwhile's Tip's longtime friend Yung Dro is in the studio as well. His sophomore LP, Yung & Restless, is due in May.
And although he's not directly signed to Grand Hustle, T.I. is also executive-producing the new LP from B.G., Too Hood to Be Hollywood. That project is tapped for early 2008.
T.I.'s planned Thanksgiving Day celebration just got a whole lot quieter: The rapper has withdrawn his request to host a holiday bash at his home in suburban Atlanta, The Associated Press reports. The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., has been under house arrest as he awaits his trial on weapons charges.
T.I. Wants To Host Thanksgiving Dinner At Home
| 0 Comments
T.I. is under house arrest as he awaits his trial on weapons charges — but he doesn't want that to get in the way of the holidays.
The rapper (real name: Clifford Harris) has asked a judge to let him host a Thanksgiving Day celebration at his home in Jonesboro, Georgia, according to The Associated Press.
On Tuesday, his attorneys requested that a list of family members be given "approved visitation to have dinner with the defendant" from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on November 22. T.I. isn't allowed to have visitors without prior approval and can't have more than three visitors at a time, with minor exceptions.
His October 26 release on bond is being supervised by a monitoring service, which would also be present for the Thanksgiving celebration...
I'm sure everyone is aware of what's going on with T.I. at this point. He is required to remain at home..except for medical appointments and court appearances. At this point...I don't have anymore information about the situation. In the mean time...I will be working on a new layout and sections. So..stay clicked!
Rapper T.I. was released on bond Friday, but he'll be confined to his home to await trial on weapons charges. T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) walked out of the federal courthouse in downtown Atlanta after posting a $3 million bond - $2 million in cash and $1 million in equity on property he owns.
"I want to thank all the fans for their support," Harris said as he left the courthouse. "Due to the severity of the situation, I can't say much more."
Before hopping into a black sport utility vehicle, he added, "I want to get all of this behind me."
U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman agreed to the bond over government objections so long as Harris follows certain conditions, including remaining in a home except for medical appointments and court appearances.
Harris also was required to surrender his passport, not own any guns and stay away from witnesses and informants in the case. The only people who will be allowed to live with him are his girlfriend and children. Visitors must be approved by the court.
Baverman sternly warned him against violating conditions of his bond.
The judge said that if Harris gets into any trouble or violates the terms of his release, "a number of very bad things will happen." That includes his bond being revoked and any sentence he receives later being potentially increased.
Harris told Baverman he understood the conditions.
A status conference in the case is set for Nov. 5.
More than 60 supporters - family members, friends and fans - stood outside the federal courtroom during the hearing. Some of the rapper's supporters held up signs with pictures of the rapper and wore shirts saying "Free T.I." on the front and "Let your haters be your motivators" on the back. Source

On a lighter note..here comes pictures of the Welcome To Atlanta Jam event that took place last Thursday (Oct. 11)...for the BET Hip Hop Awards. Enjoy! Click the pic below to access the entire set.
Update: The gallery is fixed. If it goes down again...someone email me.
I'm sure everyone knows about what went down or supposedly went down yesterday afternoon with T.I. I am not going to post any of the news about it on the site as of now. The reason for this is because...I think this is bull. I've read and heard more than one story..and all of them conflict with each other. So...until I read or hear the official...I'm not believing or posting anything concerning it. Stay clicked. I have new exclusive pictures of the better half of the weekend coming up. No matter what...Tha-King.com stands behind TIP..hopefully you, his fans..are too.
Update: T.I. is set to appear in court on Friday. Hopefully we'll learn the "official" of the situation, instead of the many conflicting allegations.
