B.o.B. is one of those artist that currently stands in a grey area: he's attained mainstream success thanks to catchy tunes, but he's also a seasoned rapper, and finds himself balancing between full-out pop music and more hardened hip-hop. So who are his main fans, the picky hip-hop heads or the avid radio listeners?

In the past month, T.I. turned heads when he was seen hanging out with recent XXL Freshman and Brooklyn native Troy Ave on Instagram and the Summer Jam mainstage. Especially after popping up on a remix of Troy's "Your Style" yesterday, T.I.

Young Dro dons a ridiculous costume and surprises Tip in his car.

T.I. may not be working a 9 to 5, but he still has to deal with a 40-minute commute to and from the studio. Luckily, He's T.I., so he can eliminate that commute by leasing a 4 bedroom home 2 minutes away from the lab.

Iggy Azalea's debut album, The New Classic, is finally coming out April 14th, and the Aussie rapper has announced that she'll be setting off on tour just after the release. The New Classic tour will kick off April 23rd in Boston, and will make its way though 14 North American dates, closing out in Seattle May 22nd.

Iggy Azalea may be from the outback, but it apparently won't stop her from rapping like she's from Zone 6 Atlanta and taking on West Coast production. Here, she gets help from Charli XCX, who's accent properly identifies her as being from the UK, where she's recently acquired quite a bit of stardom.

In a recent interview with VladTV, Memphis emcee Yo Gotti clarified a rumor concerning himself and T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records, that being his alleged signing with the label, which T.I. alluded to in an earlier interview last year.

DJ MLK just released a new mixtape titled "Goodnight Don't Exist In ATL 3", which features new music from Hustle Gang. Included among the new cuts is "Flying With Angels", a tribute to Doe B from T.I. that features archival vocals from the late rapper. May he rest in peace.  Quotable Lyrics

Signing to T.I.'s Grand Hustle label has been a stroke of good fortune for Trae Tha Truth. The Houston rapper's career has unfortunately been plagued by the loss of some his closest friends, shootings and controversy with radio executives.

Following the announcement of a partnership between Jeezy, CTE and Roc Nation, comes news of another partnership, this time between T.I., Grand Hustle and Columbia Records.

T.I. continues to grow the Grand Hustle/Hustle Gang family, however he's still in need of a home for that family. His 10-year contract for himself and the Hustle Gang imprint over at Atlantic Records expired at the beginning of the year.

Around a month ago T.I. revealed a list of artists that he was looking at to join the expanding Grand Hustle roster. Among them were Kirko Bangz, Problem, Jeremih and Yo Gotti. Today, Tip has confirmed in a new interview that a deal with Gotti has gone through.

Get a load of T.I. "Announces Yo Gotti Signed To Hustle Gang" Video, a new visual from T.I. that saw the light of day on Tuesday, June 25th, 2013. T.I.'s movement grows stronger with each new release, and T.I. "Announces Yo Gotti Signed To Hustle Gang" Video has further strengthened that fact. It's a solid addition to the commendable body of work T.I. has been creating since stepping foot in the rap game, and we're definitely looking forward to what T.I. has on deck.

T.I. has been hyping the Hustle Gang mixtape for some time now, and it seems it's finally coming together. G.D.O.D., which stands for Get Dough Or Die, arrives May 7 and now has some Native American themed artwork.

Iggy Azalea has announced via twitter that she has signed to Island/Def Jam. The signing comes as a bit of a surprise, due to her close affiliation with T.I.'s Grand Hustle. Iggy clarified that depite the signing, she is still a member of the Grand Hustle team, and will still appear on their upcoming compilation.

It seems like just about everybody has given their opinion on MTV's "Hottest MCs" list, but before the topic becomes stale, the Kang of the South, T.I., gets his opinion in.
