T.I. was discovered by Kawan "KP" Prather and signed to his label imprint Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment. [3] Upon signing a recording contract with Arista Records subsidiary LaFace Records in 2001, he shortened his name from TIP to T.I., out of respect for his Arista label-mate Q-Tip. [4] In 2001, T.I. released his debut album, I'm Serious . The album peaked at number 98 on the US Billboard 200 chart and sold about 270,000 copies.
