T.I.
He has his show, The Family Hustle. His clothing line, Akoo, has been doing numbers and he has Grand Hustle records (Hustle Gang!). T.I. still delivered on the musical front with his feature verses on Future’s “Magic,” Trey Songz’s “Two Reasons,” and Rick Ross’s “Bury Me A G”. The release of his eighth album, Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head, was late in the year, but the singles were released months before for promotion, “Ball” is still in constant rotation in 2013. MTV considering him for a possible contender would not have been an overreach, I mean he did get the “Trap Back Jumpin'”.
