He was released to a halfway house last month, and is expected to be a free man by the time “Takers” hits theaters.

Ok so now I can let the cat out of the bag.. For weeks I’ve had to keep silent about Tip going to a halfway house right before X mas, which I found out  2 months ago, but they wouldn’t let me say a word. Well the time has come and Tip has gotten out of the big house(today). T.I.’s lawyer has officially verified it. He is expected to serve the remainder of a reduced sentence in a correctional center near Fulton County in Georgia . I was told he’s put on a few pounds but has been doing nothing but writing and working on his music.

Yall know I Iwill post the first pic’s.. Stay tuned

Grand Hustle cannot seem to make any sense of the crazy drama that recently took place. The office of GrandHustle was attacked by someone for which reason is still unknown. Whoever did it, threw objects, breaking windows, and they even did the most bizarre thing of all, they planted explosives! Yes, you read correctly, the building was being investigated for explosives, that were found in front of the building.

 Atlanta police and a SWAT team were called to the scene after two Molotov cocktails were discovered. Atlanta police officer Otis Redmond told Fox 5 Atlanta that the suspicious packages were reported by someone leaving the building.

“One of the occupants came out early this morning to start his car up and noticed two suspicious bottles sitting on the front portion of the walkway.”

Sources for Grand Hustle dispute the reports however and told Freddyo.com that the explosives were near the office and not in front of the building. They also told me that they can make no since of all this madness.

I have to tell yall that GrandHustle has been doing everything that they can to stay away from negaive drama and has been going out into the community to give back so they are really just lost for words … it is really sad when someone has soo much hate or anger for someone that is doing nothing but positive. I hope whoever did this is caught and given some time. Make sure ya’ll keep my GrandHustle folks in your prayers.

 Tip has a big date to look forward to when he gets out of prison next year. In a recent interview with “XXL” magazine, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, says she’s planning to marry Tip when he is released. She states, quote, “Sometime [next] year, but we can’t really give a date yet because we have to find out exactly when Tip is coming home.” Tiny adds, quote, “We’ll have to just plan around that, but I envision a fairy-tale wedding.” The former Xscape singer also says that she could be teaming up with her longtime flame to produce new music. Tiny previously spent some time in the studio with T.I., and says the couple could eventually find themselves on a track together. She adds, quote, “We have several things that we’re talking about doing together, so we’ll see how that works out.”

Tip was sentenced to one year and a day in prison last March on federal gun charges. Tip began serving his sentence on May 26th in an Arkansas federal prison. Lil Wayne was arrested on weapons charges in 2007 in New York City. “Weezy” pled guilty to the charges last month and received one year behind bars as part of his plea. Wayne will be officially sentenced in February. Story from AP…

My homie B. Robinson, who is also T.I.’s personal videographer edited this video of Tip and sent it to me. I have to say you never really understand how much you miss someone until they are not there… This video takes a look at the hard work T.I. puts into his music career and the highlights of the past year. I really don’t think people understand how much work goes into making these artists who they are… I really think this video gives us a look at what is really going on through the good times, the bad times and everything in-between
