T.I. is getting back into the acting world - and it's a pretty big role!

The rapper has reportedly signed a season-long guest arc on the second season of Boss, the Starz drama that stars Kelsey Grammer as the mayor of Chicago!

He'll apparently be playing

He was kind of busy … in prison.

Yet another perfectly good reason to stay out of jail!

Spending nearly a year in jail really took a toll on T.I.'s life, both personally and professionally. We had no idea, but according to the rapper, offers to star in some pretty high profile movies came rolling in just about the time he was getting carted off in orange. So, he had to turn them all down.

But just wait till you hear the opportunities he missed out on! He says:

Happy 2012, T.I. fans!

The rapper revealed that he will be dropping his new mixtape F**k Da City Up on January 1, 2012, which will go hand-in-hand with his NYE parties in the dirty South!

He says:

"For New Year's I'm gonna be waitin' on F**k da City Up to drop. We got a party poppin' off down here in Atlanta, 200 Peachtree.

We gonna turn up and it's basically that. Between the party and the mixtape, that's all I got going. New year, new money. That's that."

T.I. collaborated with Dr. Dre on the new project, saying that the two of them have been "making chemistry" in the studio.

Talking about their collab, he added:

"Of course we can get together, he got hot beats and I got dope rhymes, so we can always get together and make music. But for people to feel what we're sayin' and for it to sound like a party comin' through your speakers, you gonna have to create some chemistry. So that's what we spent more time doin' than anything else; developing that chemistry."

Hey, we're excited!

Seriously, there is so much talent on this track, we're just waiting for our speakers to implode into themselves out of sheer excitement.

Getting Sleazy is Ke$ha's thing (also she likes beards), but maybe she should abandon the glitter and whiskey and concentrate on making this kind of music.

This is a SICK remix!

Check it out in the video (above) and listen to Wiz Khalifa, André 3000, T.I., & Lil Wayne get Sleazier on this remixed track!

So T.I. and Tiny go on the Wendy Williams show to promote their new reality show, but Wendy is all about the "clarification."

She wants to know why T.I. fudged up with the law AGAIN after moving passed it the first time, but T.I. is quick to shut her down.

He clearly doesn't want to clarify anything but the tune-in information for Ti & Tiny: The Family Hustle on Vh1.

And when Wendy asks Tiny about the 50 Cent debacle, well….U'll see….. roll it!
