T.I. ringtones for Verizon, Nextel, Cingular, Sprint and other cell phones
Born Clifford Harris. T.I. is identified with the Southern gangsta rap style of his home town Atlanta, Georgia. He was called Tip by his grandfather as a child, which became T.I.P. to prevent his southern accent being understood as Chip, and later a shorter version T.I. With a stage name ready, T.I. was determined to pursue a rap career when only 11 years old.
