Regardless of the year listed on the refrigerator calendar, artists must stay current to sell a clothing line. People may wax nostalgic when seeing an Elvis t-shirt or memorabilia, but, outside of Graceland, no one is rushing the cash registers anymore. In light of that, the release of the akooclothingline.net/”>TI clothing line in late 2008 seems perfectly timed. Called the AKOO clothing line, an acronym for A King Of Oneself, the clothes make a stylish menswear gift.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., first hit the charts after he and Lil Wayne collaborated with Destiny’s Child on Soldier in 2004. The song peaked at number 3 in the United States, and also put T.I. on the map in the UK, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Israel, Finland, Italy, Greece and Switzerland. Between 2004 and 2009, T.I. produced numerous songs that were well-received by the rap, hip hop and mainstream music community. His talent was recognized by nominations and wins from BET (Black Entertainment Television), MTV’s Viewer’s Choice Awards and the Grammies, just to name a few.

In addition to recognizing his musical talent, T.I. was named one of the Top 10 Most Stylish Men in America by GQ Magazine on February 17, 2009, a news item that was published online by affiliate nydailynews.com. The blurb quoted T.I. as starting his wardrobe choice with his shoes and going from there.

Immediately following the positive recognition, T.I. was sentenced to one year in prison in March of 2009 for trying to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers from undercover federal agents in 2007. While he could have received the 10 year maximum sentence, T.I. reached a plea deal with prosecutors. He spent time on house arrest before sentencing and voluntarily spoke to community groups and high schools about the dangers of drugs, violence and guns. He then obtained early release for good behavior. Time in prison took away freedoms like spending time in the recording studio where T.I. could be creative and send out a positive message.

Following his release, T.I. immediately returned to the studio and business matters. The AKOO clothing line is available online and in retail stores in every major US city. The menswear clothing line makes an excellent gift for men wanting a stylish appearance that sets them apart from the crowd.
