The show will center on T.I.'s re-adjusting to life outside of prison. VH1's executive vice president, Jeff Olde, of original programming and production, said in a statement Wednesday "Viewers have always connected with T.I. and we are definitely thrilled to show the next chapter of this incredible artist's riveting life with this new series. T.I is such a multi-talented artist and actor, and though he has had some setbacks, there is no doubt he will use his considerable talents to get back on top of both the music and film business."

Rapper T.I. was sentenced to 11 months in federal prison after his drug possession arrest last September. Because he violated terms of his probation after a previous federal gun conviction, he was thrown in the slammer.

Currently, Rapper T.I. is in a halfway house to complete the remainder of his prison sentence less than a day after his release.

The Live Your Life hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., walked free from an Arkansas correctional facility on Wednesday (31Aug11) after serving 10-months of his 11-month sentence for violating probation last year (10).

T.I. has also signed a book deal to co-write a novel aimed at teens and young adults. (c) WENN
