T.I. (nacido como Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr. el 25 de septiembre de 1980 en Atlanta, Georgia) es un rapero de Atlanta. También es conocido como King of the South, Rubber Band Man (debido a su pasado como traficante de drogas) y T.I.P., su alter ego.
Orígenes
Su nombre artístico original era "T.I.P.", que tiene su origen en el apodo con que le conocían en su infancia. Debido a su acento sureño, los fans confundían su nombre con "Chip", por lo que se lo tuvo que acortar y dejarlo en T.
