No, you read that correctly. Rapper T.I., who is currently serving one year in prison, is slated to appear in a new hip-hop based MMORPG. Apparently the gameplay will be based around creating a character that is a DJ, rapper, singer, etc. You can do things such as invent and star in your own clothing line or rise to the top of the Rap Game to earn cash and fame.

The game is tenatively entitled "Platinum Life" and Grand Hustle records have already signed for the deal. As a player you can go from being being relatively unknown to the top of the charts all while forming business and being guided by other musicians such a T.I.

Anthony Castoro, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Heatwave Interactive stated:

“Our online game experience allows top-level artists to share their music, video and lifestyle with their huge fan bases in a personal and innovative way. We feel that T.I.’s music, message and deeply engaged fan base make him ideal as an icon within the game.”

There is no release date announced at this point in time.
