T.I., the Atlanta rapper born Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with independent music company Reservoir Media. The deal covers his entire catalog, from his 2001 debut I’m Serious through his 2026 album Kill The King, which he has said will be his final release.
Across 11 studio albums and hundreds of singles and mixtapes, T.I. has sold more than 14 million records. He is widely credited with defining the Dirty South sound. His ventures outside music include two clothing lines, film and television roles, and the charity Us or Else, which released the compilation Us Or Else: Letter To The System with contributions from Killer Mike, Meek Mill, Quavo, and others.
“I’m very excited about building a strong partnership with Reservoir as we work together to diversify the business and expand the reach of my catalogue,” T.I. said in a statement.
Rell Lafargue, President and Chief Operating Officer of Reservoir, added: “T.I. is one of those rare powerhouses whose music has real cultural significance and staying power. Our focus has always been to grow our roster with world-class music, and welcoming one of rap and hip-hop’s most influential artists and bodies of work to Reservoir reinforces that mission. This partnership with T.I. also doubles down on our long-standing commitment to the genre’s storied history and promising future.”
