Rapper T.I. Promotes New Album by Calling Heat-Hawks Game (Video)

It’s no secret that Atlanta has one of the deepest hip-hop scenes in the world, producing everyone from Andre 3000 to Big Boi to Cee Lo Green.

Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr. — better known as T.I. — is one of those products, creating an impressive 11-year-career that’s spanned eight official studio albums, produced countless more mixtapes and spawned the record label Grand Hustle Records. That eighth album, “Trouble Man,” is set to be dropped Dec. 18.

In the spirit of promotion, T.I., who’s appeared at many an Atlanta Hawks game before, stopped by Philips Arena as the Hawks hosted the Miami Heat to do a little play-by-play with Atlanta’s broadcast crew.

Check out an interview with T.I. after his first foray into broadcasting below.
