MTV Total Request Live.JPGT.I. will be in town today from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. Family Clinic at 2922-B Martin Luther King Blvd. He's here to participate in the Hip-Hop for HIV event sponsored by 97.9 The Beat. Event organizers hope to get at least 3,000 people tested over the course of a few weeks. And T.I. isn't just here to sign autographs; he's meeting with some local politicians.

Hip-Hop for HIV will also host a concert at Dallas City Hall. Mike Jones, Bun B, David Banner, Pleasure P, Young Berg, Day 26, Trap Squad Cartel and Prime Time Click are scheduled to perform on Sept. 14. You'll have to take a test at one of the sites to get a ticket to the concert, though.

T.I. is also working with the Hip-Hop Caucus on a new voter registration and Respect My Vote campaign which hopes to mobilize and educate people between the ages of 18 and 29 who are not in college.

His new album, Paper Trail, is scheduled to come out Sept. 30. The civic-minded rapper and actor (ATL, American Gangster) took a plea deal in March on weapons charges. As part of that deal, he will serve a year in prison and perform at least 1,000 hours of community service.
