3. T.I.
T.I.’s take on street life in Atlanta is as potent as Scarface’s take on Houston’s inner city. Through his music, T.I. often finds himself trapped by his circumstances and regretting mistakes that lead to bad situations. His honesty is what makes his music so appealing. Since 2000, T.I. has remained consistent in music (although some years have been better than others) and continues to branch out in TV and film.
