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.

Uh-huh

I'm the life of the party boy
Going all out like the Hardy Boyz
She the rider to my Harley boy
And I promise promise I promise that I'll destroy

It's going down like Poseidon
Do wait in line I get right in
When I walk up to the spot
Nigga what you thought

Goooonnnnne
Get it girl
Get it get it girl
And if she let me hit it
Bet I'm lasting longer then a minute girl
Give it a minute it's gone kick in
Gave her a bean
On the scene
Now the fiend set tripping
She say she love them dope boys
And she say a nigga gotta dope voice
Haa

When I show up to the spot everybody make noise

IM THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
The lyrics of T.I.'s song "Life Of The Party" convey a sense of self-assurance and confidence. T.I. asserts that he is the center of attention, comparing himself to the Hardy Boyz, a WWE tag team known for their daring stunts. He also mentions his partner, who complements him like a Harley rider to his Harley Davidson. He promises to demolish anyone who tries to challenge him.
The song emphasizes T.I.'s status as the life of the party, with people waiting in line while he effortlessly enters and captures everyone's attention. He mentions a girl who is dancing provocatively for money, and if she allows him to have sex with her, he boasts that he will last longer than a minute. The party atmosphere is electric, with T.I. pulling up to the scene smelling like Bob Marley (presumably referring to his scent of marijuana) and causing a stir.
T.I. highlights the presence of his crew, the Kings, who accompany him to the party. They revel in the excitement, describing their lifestyle as a daily hobby. The lyrics repeat the chorus, emphasizing T.I.'s dominance as the life of the party.
