Virgin Mobile USA Adds Rapper T.I. to Powerful 'First Dibs' Line-Up

WARREN, NJ. (Top40 Charts/ Virgin Mobile USA) - King of the South, fashion icon and two-time Grammy Award-winning rapper, T.I. is the latest artist to join Virgin Mobile USA's exclusive "First Dibs" ringtone program. Virgin Mobile USA and Atlantic Records continue to offer Virgin Mobile's more than 4.8 million customers exclusive content from hot artists. T.I.'s latest Grand Hustle/Atlantic album, "T.I. vs. T.I.P," hit stores on July 3rd and immediately took the No 1 slot on The Billboard 200 chart for 2 weeks in a row, marking the biggest urban debut of the year.

Virgin Mobile customers can now access exclusive versions of tracks from T.I.'s album as well as exclusive videos in which T.I. and T.I.P., T.I.'s alter ego, compete to get customers to download their respective ringtones. Four exclusive ringtones can also be downloaded to Virgin Mobile phones from "T.I. vs. T.I.P" including "Big Things Poppin' (Instrumental)," "You Know What It Is (Instrumental)," "Help Is Coming (Instrumental)," and "We Do This (Instrumental)."

"Some would say I have a dual personality: calm, cool, collected one minute, and ready to take somebody's head off the next. There is a thin line between brilliance and insanity. I am looking forward to seeing what ringtones the Virgin Mobile fans choose. It'll be interesting to see whose side they're on," said T.I. T.I. fans can also see T.I. and T.I.P. battle it out in a video "conflict resolution," available at https://www.trapmuzik.com/vmfirstdibs. Virgin Mobile customers can download T.I. content at https://www.virginmobileusa.com/stuff/ringtones/firstDibs.do or from VirginXL or VirginXtras on any Virgin Mobile Real Music ringtone-capable handset, including the MARBL and Cyclops.
