As of October 2008, T.I. has had nine Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles, with 3 of them reaching number 1 ("My Love" by Justin Timberlake on which T.I. was featured, "Whatever You Like," & "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna).
The Love This Life Songfacts reports that Love This Life, the first official single from T.I.'s eighth album, Trouble Man, was released on April 2, 2012 via YouTube.
T.I. is from Bankhead, Atlanta, Georgia and was raised by his grandparents. T.I. explained the origin of his nickname Rubber Band Man, saying, "We used to wear rubber bands to signify how much money, how much blow we had." He was nicknamed "Tip" after his paternal great-grandfather. Upon signing with Arista Records subsidiary LaFace Records in 2001, he shortened his name to T.I. out of respect for label mate Q-Tip.
T.I. has been in a relationship with former Xscape member Tameka "Tiny" Cottle since 2001. Together, they have two sons: King and Major Harris. He has three other children with ex-girlfriend Lashon Dixon: Domani, Messiah and Deyjah. Overall, T.I. has five children.
T.I. was co-executive producer of B.G.'s upcoming album and making beats for artists like Mariah Carey, Cassidy, Rick Ross, Maino, B.o.B., Yung Joc, Young Dro, and himself. He also executive produced the soundtrack to the film Hustle & Flow and released the collection through his record label.

This ain't something I can get use to
Been connected like Bluetooth
Used to have a couple loose screws
Been trynna blow but its a long fuse
Stay dripping when I roll through
Lot of people they old school
Niggas cap they old news
Got problem then solve it
The world gone keep on revolving
Here come the water like a faucet
Dam they couldn't stop it
Speakers be knocking
Came from the heart like a locket
I got the juice shocking
I put my problems in my pocket
I'm ball harder then harden
Coming through beg my pardon
Ima slid to the scene sorry
All started at 8 calamari
Lets take a moment of silence
Cuz I already know they talking
How could I ever follow the fake
We dying at an exponential rate
I float on the beat make it levitate
Every situation don't got to escalate
We done been through to much pain
Like a smoke braking chains
When I die they gone know my name
They tried to down play me
People don't love me like they used to (love me like they use to)
This ain't something I can get use to
Been connected like Bluetooth
Used to have a couple loose screws
Been trynna blow but its a long fuse
Stay dripping when I roll through
Lot of people they old school
Niggas cap they old news
Going big on big I told you never let nobody fold you
been connected like Bluetooth
Used to have a couple loose screws
Going big on big I told you don't never let nobody fold you
There it go there he go we go round like a Mary go
Pockets I filled up that's enough
well keep it coming
stood on the side lines they wouldn't pick them
Game on hit them up Lil bra run it up
Road rough Ain't have no love
Most times I ain't have nun
Like Lucci I hope that it add up
Took some losses I always came back from
They said I got to get a bag bra
I could never turn me back on
They say I fell off but I'm back on
Been at this for eons
They don't be on the same thing I be on
yea that's a poor baby
I feel like god saved me
People still wiping Mercedes
Old school just like the 80's
Ain't hard but the world made me
Don't start you can't play me
Whole world shady how I been feeling lately
People don't love me like they used to (love me like they use to)
This ain't something I can get use to
Been connected like Bluetooth
Used to have a couple loose screws
Been trynna blow but its a long fuse
Stay dripping when I roll through
Lot of people they old school
Niggas cap they old news
Going big on big I told you never let nobody fold you
been connected like Bluetooth
Used to have a couple loose screws
Going big on big I told you don't never let nobody fold you

The repeated chorus of "my little woman, she don't believe in me" underscores the feeling of betrayal and disappointment, suggesting that this relationship has caused the singer a great deal of pain.
Overall, Big S is a poignant and introspective look at the ups and downs of a relationship.
