T.I. Launches Akoo Clothing Brand in New York

TI launched Akoo clothing in New York this past Friday at the Taj Lounge along with RP55 their distribution partner who is also responsible for such brands as Shmack, Azzure and Indigo Red. The night was sponsored by GIANT magazine, which TI is currently on the cover of the mag.

I actually had the chance to see AKOO in Balboa clothing store in ATL and the assortment wasn’t that broad, but what they had was good quality and I’m just awaiting the denim tops, leathers and hoodies so far all I’ve seen was denim jeans and t-shirts which included the AKOO Respect My Vote shirt.

Default T.I. Begins on working on new Album

According to a recent interview with MTV. com, T.I. has already begun working on the follow-up to his hit album "Paper Trail.
"

T.I. tells MTV that some of the tracks he recorded for "Paper Trail" that didn't make the cut may be included on the new album.


" 'It's All G' — that was one I really liked," T.I. said. "The one with Fall Out Boy: 'Out in the Cold.' The one with The-Dream: 'Like I Do.' 'Let My Beat Pound' — there's a few of them...I'm starting on my next project...I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna call it.
"

T.I. says he hasn't decided yet on whether he'll record from memory or write down lyrics as he did on his latest platinum album.


"I'mma figure that out, man," T.I. told MTV. "I might use a little of both. I might use the "Paper Trail" method.
"

Middle School Students Sing About Voting – to T.I.'s Tune

They're not even old enough to vote – but that doesn't mean they can't be engaged in the political process and have some fun, too.

Middle school students from the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta have scored a viral hit with their musical, non-partisan examination of the presidential candidates, "You Can Vote However You Like."

Set to the tune of rapper T.I.'s hit "Whatever You Like," the 6th and 7th graders square off, taking the positions of John McCain and Barack Obama supporters.

From the left, the pro-Obama students rap: "McCain and Bush are just the same/ You are to blame/ Iraq's a shame / Four more years would be insane." And the McCain supporters on the right counter: The conservative right/ Our future is bright/ Better economy in site/ And all the world will feel our military might."

So, what inspired them?

"We do debates within our classrooms," one student, Willie Thornton, said during a recent CNN interview (watch it below). "We try to incorporate those debates into our music and songs," which, he adds, are not meant to endorse a particular political point of view.

Said Thornton: "It doesn't necessarily show you which party to vote for but it gives you the good and bad of both parties."
