TI is one of hottest rappers coming out of the south. He has had countless hit singles and rap music videos that portray the gangster lifestyle that he grew up living. Sometimes art follows life and that was what happened to TI on October 13, 2007 in an Atlanta parking lot after the ATF followed a lead that led them to TI's bodyguard who was looking to buy unregistered machine guns. In the new rap music report attached you will get the low down on the exact circumstances surrounding the arrest. The purchase was for a reported 21,000 dollars, which included assorted machine guns and silencers. He was arrested just before going to the BET Hip-Hop Awards.
Just recently, TI released a statement video on a new rap music website called streetcred.com talking about the federal weapons charges that he recently caught. In the video, he seemed assured that he would not be convicted for the alleged crime. If he is though he will face jail time that could turn out to be a long time. He also said that the many news reports surrounding the case are untruthful. He is currently working on new rap music for his next album.
