VH1 Storytellers: T.I. Announced

T.I, the proclaimed "King of the South," got personal last night during VH1's Storytellers taping saying, "Even when I lose faith in myself there is something in me that speaks through and says I am not finished yet" as he hit the stage of New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom and kept the capacity crowd on their feet the whole night as he blazed through a set of career hits.

Between songs, T.I. opened up with candid stories about his redemption from the life of a drug dealer to the rap superstar he is today. He also entertained questions from the audience on topics ranging from his time in prison to his future aspirations as a musician and actor.

Fans were treated to never-before-performed-live songs "Still Ain't Forgave Myself" and the highly personal "I Still Luv You" which he revealed chronicles his pain over the death of his father and the love of his children despite becoming a father at a young age. T.I. explained that this was the right time, right stage and the right crowd to unleash these hit songs in a live performance.
