Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr., AKA T.I., is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur from Georgia. T.I. is the founder and CEO of Grand Hustle Records, which he launched in 2003. Ten years later the hip-hop artist invested in a startup called Yopima which is a loose acronym for “your opinion matters”. Yopima helps users find trending spots based on peer recommendations. In 2017, he started a real estate company called Buy Back the Block in order to invest in his old neighborhood. Last month the Grammy-winning rapper launched a BET reality show, The Grand Hustle, to find the next executive for his company.
