Yesterday, T.I. discussed how important it was for rappers to get into writing books. This week, T.I.'s own Power & Beauty book will be hitting book stores across the country. Just like how he is with his albums, T.I. is not showing any signs of slowing down. Already, he has more books in the works.

Now, out of prison, T.I. is focused on doing a lot more than getting his new music out. He has spent nearly an entire year away from his wife, Tiny. T.I. is also focused on spending more alone time with his new wife. The two had just gotten married before T.I. was sent to prison.

T.I. and Tiny will be spending plenty of alone time together when they begin writing their new book. Right as he releases his first novel, T.I. is working on his next book. With Tiny, T.I. will be writing a book about romantic relationships. T.I. said he is at the end of Power & Beauty II and trying to end it and start the third installment.

The original Power & Beauty will be hitting stores on October 18 and his other books will be lined up soon.

Last year, T.I. appeared to be making rights for the wrongs that landed him in prison. T.I. came out of prison with a focus on business and being a role model. Along the way, he was also trying to regain his position in the rap game.

In October, he was hit with a harsh reality. Out in Los Angeles, the rapper, along with Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, his wife, were pulled over by police officers for speeding. Their vehicle was searched and drugs were found in the vehicle.

Immediately, T.I. was taken into police custody and he was sent back to prison. Having violated his probation, T.I. was forced to serve eleven months in prison. Since being in prison, many of his artists have discussed his situation.

This situation will be over for T.I. on September 29, 2011, when he can finally get his life back on track.

Late last year, T.I. was released from prison and he promised himself, his family, and his fans that he would do better this time around. Earlier this year, T.I. made his first public appearance. For the sake of his company, the Atlanta rapper turned from an urban look to a professional look. No longer wearing the baggy clothes, T.I. was only found wearing suits.

Things were looking great for T.I. until his trip to Los Angeles last month with his wife, Tiny. While driving through the city, the newlyweds were pulled over by the police. During a routine search, the officers found drugs in the car and T.I. had violated his parole. For almost two years, T.I. had been doing all he could to repair his image in the spotlight.

Despite T.I.'s guilt, the fans have not given up on him and they have rallied behind their hero. All of their well-wishes have benefited T.I., as he will not be brought up on drug charges. While he will not be charged for drug possession, all things are not well with Tip. Though he beat the drug charges, the parole violation may land him back in prison for eleven months.

In the wake of this news, Atlantic Records decided to push T.I.'s comeback effort, King Uncaged, back from a November release to a December 7 release date. While the album has currently been delayed to a release in December, most people believe his album has been pushed back until sometime next year. Even with the possibility of the album being delayed even farther, Young Dro reported that T.I. has filmed over eight videos for the album.

Late last year, T.I. was blessed when he was released from prison early on good behavior. The Atlanta rapper made a promise to his fans, friends, and family to do better. Early this summer, T.I. began making public appearances and it was clear he had changed. But, it appears as if he may be reverting back to his old ways.

T.I. and his newlywed wife, Tiny, were cruising in Los Angeles, when they were pulled over by the police. The officers said they found ecstasy and meth-amphetamines in his vehicle. He and Tiny were pulled over for a simple traffic violation when the officers smelled marijuana in the vehcile.

Fresh out of prison, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said T.I. faces up to a year in prison. He also faces multiple fines that will be determined by the judge. Both entertainers were booked on felony charges and released on $10,000 bail.
