T.I. has been tapped to kick off the Apollo Theater’s June Black Music Month celebration.
The Atlanta rapper will also be the first Hip-Hop act billed under the Apollo New Legends Series.
The latter event aims to honor and showcase top artists from a variety of musical genres whose music has had a strong impact on society.
In celebration of Black Music Month, T.I., whose fourth album King hit gold in its first week of release, will perform his first solo concert for one night at the Apollo Theater.
The event will take place June 1 at 7:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Tickets are available at the Apollo Theater Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations.
T.I. also recently kicked off his nationwide King tour at Tennessee State University, with support from Grand Hustle/Atlantic labelmate Young Dro and Yung Joc of Block Entertainment/Bad Boy South.
