TI recording new music after halfway house release

TI is back in the studio to record new tracks only one day after being released from an Atlanta halfway house.

The 'Dead and Gone' rapper was granted early release from jail in August, but was required to spend time in a halfway house to finish out his 11-month sentence for a 2010 drug charge.

TI returned to Twitter following his release, revealing that he has already begun working on songs for a new studio album.

He wrote: "What up world?! It's ME, no fill-in, no substitution. Officially back in action. At da 'yo' [studio] right now layin a verse to 'I spend it'… Gettin dis record 'I'm Flexin' ready 4 yall…Tryin to have it delivered by 6pm. What other records yall thank I should hop on??? I'm all da way on G-O!!! All I see is $$$, & the future, F**k da past, as of now LIFE'S GREAT!. (sic)"

TI also thanked his fans for standing by him throughout his struggles, adding: "Gotta say thanx 4all da love, support, &prayers from all who gave a s**t… Puttin da A [Atlanta] back on top is high up on my priority list. IT'S ON!!!"

The musician has signed for a reality TV show with VH1 and inked a book deal with publisher HarperCollins since his release from jail.
