Rapper T.I. has turned himself into authorities in Arkansas to begin his 366-day prison sentence.
The "Live Your Life" hitmaker -- real name Clifford Harris Jr. -- checked himself into the Forrest City federal prison on Tuesday morning, prior to the 12 p.m. deadline, his attorney has confirmed to TMZ.com.
He was given the sentence earlier this year in connection to his 2007 arrest on charges of illegal weapons possession.
The hip-hop superstar's surrender comes just days after a judge rejected his request to be housed nearer to his family home in Atlanta, and two days after bidding farewell to fans at his last concert before handing himself in to police.
