Last week your favorite blogger stood outside one of Atlanta’s most popular recording studios where the King T.I. was busy putting in work for Atlantic Records.
Within 30 minutes, the studio’s parking lot was jammed with luxury vehicles blocking in T.I.’s custom black Mercedes, which had been one of only 3 cars in the lot when I arrived.
As I stood shivering in the bitter cold, watching local DJs go inside and waiting to make my move, my cell phone rang.
Recognizing the number, I answered. It was a Grand Hustle executive on the line. He had heard that I was on a mission to secure the first photo of T.I. after his release from a federal prison to an Atlanta halfway house on Dec. 22.
The exec wanted me to reconsider getting that exclusive shot.
“I was already given clearance by a studio staffer,” I told him. I was just waiting to see who was going inside. The Grand Hustle exec pleaded his case, “just wait until this is all over with the feds then you can have all the pictures you want.”
So until then, here are pics of T.I. and Chris Brown in scenes from their upcoming flick ‘Takers’, courtesy of Woooha.com.
Takers, which is produced by T.I.’s Grand Hustle films, also stars Idris Elba, Matt Dillon, Hayden Christensen, Michael Ealy and Zoe Saldana.
