Editor's note

T.I. built Atlanta trap and kept evolving

From early street anthems to melodic collaborations, his catalog documents two decades of Southern rap.

For the early trap sound, 'Turn It' still hits hard. If you want to hear him stretch, 'Live In The Sky' with Jamie Foxx shows a different side.

T.I. helped define Atlanta's trap sound in the early 2000s with albums like 'Trap Muzik' and 'Urban Legend.' Songs like 'Turn It' show his straightforward rap approach, while 'Live In The Sky' with Jamie Foxx reveals his willingness to stretch into more melodic territory. Even his community work through the Harris Community Works Foundation connects back to the neighborhood stories in his music.

He started making music in Atlanta in the late 1990s, releasing his first album 'I'm Serious' in 2001. After serving prison time on federal weapons charges in 2007, he returned with 'King Uncaged' in 2010 and kept recording through albums like 'Paperwork' and 'The Dime Trap.'
