T.I. Pens Open Letter to President Barack Obama: ‘You Shook Up and Woke Up a Generation’

T.I. has entered a real realm of political and social awareness as of late, in and out of music, and his latest releases will be a series of open letters to President Obama, President-elect Donald J. Trump and all of America. The rapper and actor’s step towards activism is due in large part to the continued killings of unarmed black men and women in America, as well as the country’s divisive political climate, which explored in depth on his Us or Else EP and the Us or Else: Letter to the System album that followed.
