GEORGIA- The KING has done it again. On Wednesday the 28 year old rapper T. I. (born Clifford Harris), cast his vote early for this year's presidential election.

Though recently convicted on gun possession charges, he has remained driven to get out and use his voice to be an activist and advocate for getting out the message to vote. Tip is the national spokesperson for the nonpartisan group Respect My Vote's "Get Out the Vote" campaign.

The importance of this year's election was so significant that Mr. Harris researched on his own and found that he is eligible to vote in Georgia because the state constitution says that to be able to vote, you have to have served your entire sentence, which includes all probation and fines and any other stipulations," said Matt Carrothers, the Secretary of State's director of media relations.

Since he doesn't have to begin serving his prison sentence until March next year and is not currently on any other type of probation he only needed to be re-registered in his county to cast his ballot for the first time in his young life. "Feels like I've taken advantage of my right to become a part of the democracy," T.I. said in the release. "It was definitely worth standing in line and doing all the things people complain about voting. I think it's more than worth it." (MTV.com)
