Just weeks after his release from prison, T.I. is now officially a published author. His first book, Power & Beauty: A Story of Life on the Streets, was released on Tuesday. The novel, co-written by David Ritz, is the first in a planned series. It reportedly follows the story of lovers Paul “Power” Clay and Tanya “Beauty” Long. T.I. told XXL that he’s already on to the next: “We’re right at the end of [Power & Beauty II] right now. We’re trying to figure out how to end two and begin three.”
He also announced that he and his wife Tiny are working on a book together. “Tameka and I, we looking to do [a] his and her relationship book; how to get right and keep it tight,” he said.
