RealTalkNY was one of the few selected media outlets given an opportunity to sit with T.I. and watch the first episode to his new MTV series. The eight part mini-series titled, “Road To Redemption,” is set to debut February 10th @ 9pm on MTV. Following episodes will come on at 9:30 on Tuesdays.

Before the first episode was played T.I. took part in a small Q&A. He stated he is currently recording and will be shooting a video for Dead & Gone during the weekend of the Grammy Awards. He stated he has enough songs to release an album but didn’t mention if he wold in fact drop an album in the near future. His first film as a producer, “Takers,” is currently being in the editing process and he may be working on another TV series with MTV. He says he puts his input into every piece of AKOO clothing and is also venturing into sports management and opening a restaurant. He goes on to say he wants to shoot a, “Swagga Like Us,” video but everyone is busy. They all agreed they would only do a video if all of them were in it together. Grand Hustle is currently working on the new albums for, B.o.B., 8Ball and MJG, Young Dro, and Killer Mike.

A recap of the 1st episode is below.

Paper Trail in stores now…

I want to thank God for somehow … I know he perfect. So I thank him for everything. I thank him for making me drop out of school. I thank him for making me run the streets. I’mma thank him for making me sell crack. I’mma thank him for making me have shoot-outs. I’mma thank him for allowing me to watch my partners die in my arms so I’d be fearful enough for my life and paranoid enough to go out and cop machine guns and silencers so I catch a fed case and I have to put up $3 million for my bond so I have to spend seven months of my life in my house, so I have to spend a year of my life in prison just so that I be validated enough to get out there and touch the youth because they know that I done been through it, and if I say it, it means something.
