VH1 to Premiere T.I. & TINY: THE FAMILY HUSTLE, 12/5

VH1 is about to give America an in-depth look into the world of multi-platinum recording artist T.I. in the new series T.I. & TINY: THE FAMILY HUSTLE premiering on December 5, 2011 at 9PM ET.

Viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the most private moments of the Grammy-winning artist as he is reunited with his wife, Tameka (a.k.a Tiny), and his children following a 12 month prison sentence that was completed several months ago.

The new series follows the "King of the South" at his most vulnerable, as T.I. re-acclimates back into his life as a father, husband, son, musician, apparel magnate, businessman, actor and best-selling author (Power & Beauty).

During filming of a music video, the audience will catch a tender moment as T.I. teaches his son the importance of education and doing his school work. For the first time, fans will get to know T.I.'s children and see their reactions as they realize their father is a member of Hip Hop royalty. T.I. even begins to instruct his eldest son, Domani on the secrets to putting on a great concert performance and allows Domani (aka T- Money) to show off his skills in front of a crowd of 3,000 at the Scream Tour.

"Tameka and I have a strong, loving family," said T.I. "In this family documentary, you will see the challenges of raising children while balancing a career. It's like a lot of families, only our home is in the spotlight."

Viewers will also catch a glimpse into the very loving and always fascinating relationship between T.I. and his wife Tameka, who has faithfully stood by T.I.'s side through his highs and lows and who herself was a former member of the '90s Grammy-winning pop group Xscape. The mother of two of T.I.'s children, along with her own fifteen-year-old daughter, Tameka was forced to hold down the fort while T.I. was behind bars. Viewers also are introduced to the OMG GIRLZ, a new up-and-coming pop group that Tameka manages. Tune in to see T.I. back on his throne, as he reclaims his kingdom, rebuilds his businesses, and reconnects with his family and friends on "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle" premiering on VH1 December 5th at 9PM*.
