T.I’s fourth solo LP debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 as well as the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts. King reportedly sold over 500, 000 copies its’ first week. It is still #1 on latter two charts. T.I’s lead single "What You Know" is #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the video is the #1 most-played clip this week on both MTV and MTV2. It is #2 on BET.

The Atlanta emcee also recently made his silver screen debut in the Overbrook/Warner Bros. Pictures film "ATL." Young Dro’s label debut, Best Thang Smokin, is scheduled for release on June 27.
