Actor, rapper, songwriter, producer, and entrepreneur T.I. is all that and then some…
His name is synonymous with southern Trap music, but T.I. is more than a three-time Grammy Award winner; and he’s more than the master collaborator with a who’s who of popular music to his credit, including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Drake, Lady Gaga, and 2018’s Ye Vs. The People with Kanye West. He’s also a Tony Award nominee for SpongeBob Squarepants: The Musical. And if that doesn’t shock you there’s this he turns 40 on September 25.
“I don’t have any real feelings about any particular number, ’cause you got two options, either grow old or die young,” he tells us. “To still be alive, let alone successful and relevant at 40 is a blessing.”

The Lil Trap House Museum has arrived in Overtown to shine a light on Miami’s Hip-Hop legacy and black-owned businesses. The pop-up, curated by rapper T.I. will be around for the next 6 months and will honor Dade natives Rick Ross and City Girls.
The museum is located at the corner of NW Second Avenue and Tenth Street, features trap-influenced art pieces featuring the godfathers of the genre: T.I., Jeezy, and Gucci Mane.
While the original Trap Music Museum in Atlanta is known for its interactive activations, the Miami pop-up is more limited, owing to the pandemic. Face masks are mandatory, and each visitor must sign a waiver and undergo a temperature check before entering.
After 2 years of operating and taking the museum on wheels across the country, it has now installed a 6-month activation called, “Lil Trap House” in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami, FL. Spearheaded by TMM co-founder, William “Bam” Sparks, and TMM General Manager, Krystal Garner, “Miami’s Lil Trap House” pop-up features exhibits that showcase the city’s eccentric trap culture. From native trailblazers such as Rick Ross and City Girls, Miami’s latest addition is a must-see over the next six months. In addition, TMM has partnered with the Historic Overtown area to further the mission of uplifting the community and businesses of Miami, Overtown.
