Gibson, who was once a member of a rap group called Triple Impact, released his self-titled debut music album, which went platinum, in 1998; his second album, 2000 Watts, shares the name of the organization he founded to help inner city children. Gibson was given the role originally intended for the late 2Pac Shakur in the 2001 film Baby Boy; the movie was a critical success and performed fairly at the box office. Gibson subsequently appeared in the 2003 box office success 2 Fast 2 Furious (opposite Paul Walker, with whom he formed a close friendship during filming), as well as Flight of the Phoenix (2004), Four Brothers (2005) and Annapolis (2006), co-starring James Franco. Gibson was picked as one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men of the Year in 2000.
Gibson has also established himself as a successful screenwriter, selling the pitches D.A. Verdict to MGM and Extortion to Universal Studios. In 2006, Gibson sold his first original spec script, To Each His Own, to Screen Gems. He is to star in and produce all of the films. Gibson has also created HQ Pictures, a television and film production company. He has hired Mike Le as VP of development & production to oversee and develop projects under the company’s banner.
Gibson prefers his music career to acting, but will focus on both areas. His third album is called Alter Ego, and featured both R&B and hip hop songs. He used an alias, “Black Ty”, for the rap tracks. Tyrese had a role in the Transformers movie, released July of 2007; the film’s director, Michael Bay, had Gibson in mind for the role before he was cast, and thus Gibson did not have to audition for the part.
Tyrese's fourth and latest album Open Invitation was released on November 1, 2011 in the US. It was preceeded by the single "Stay" which peaked on U.S. Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at number 11. The second single "Too Easy" features Ludacris and was released soon after.

Tyrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, the summer can in the middle of the winter
And all my nightmares became a dream come true
Then suddenly my pool became an ocean
No sooner then I laid… my eyes on you
And I have never seen wings like that
Never seen a smile like that
You blind me with love, am I going crazy?
But is this just a dream, cause
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Right before my very eyes
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
And it was like a vision coming from the sky
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
She held my hand and whispered to me, whoa
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Nothing compares to what you are
A sad end became happy ever after
And a sad song turned into a summer joy
When the light is on to me, was going dim …
You showed her what the candle burn boy
And I have never seen wings like that
Never seen a smile like that
I’ve seen the light but never ever bright as that
You blind me with love, am I going crazy?
But is this just a dream, cause
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Standing right before my very eyes
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
It was like a vision coming from the sky
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
He held my hand and whispered to me, whoa
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Nothing compares to what you are
And it feels so good that I found my angel next to me
That I just gotta tell somebody
About my new discovery
And how I’m touched by an angel, touched by an angel
Touched by an angel
Girl it feels like I’m
I’m touched by an angel, touched by an angel
Touched by an angel
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Standing right before my very eyes
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Like a beautiful vision coming from the sky
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
He held my hand and whispered to me, whoa
I just saw an angel, an angel on earth
Nothing can compare to what you are
I’m so glad that I’ve got my angel
Uh baby, yeah
You my angel, and I know it cause you
Set me free, hey.
