While T.I. continues his return to music with his upcoming "King Uncaged, " and a triumphant first post-prison show in New York City earlier this week, the ATL king has his sights set on other mediums. "King Uncaged " was already delayed because Tip was working on acting and amassing film roles -- like his current spin in the action flick "Takers " -- and now comes the news that he is in the process of creating an animated television series.

T.I. will star in a new cartoon series called "Lil " Homies. " He sat down with morning show host Angela Yee to discuss the project this morning. "I "m actually working on a TV show as a producer as well as a cartoon," T.I. explained to listeners on Shade 45. "It "s called "Lil " Homies. " I don "t know [what network it "s gonna be on]. I may do voiceover like a narrator."

As for Tip "s recent penchant for non-music activities, it "s clear that he wants to focus on one thing at a time. "I feel it wouldn "t be fair to the film or the album if I was splitting my attention span amongst the two," Tip continued, "so I hit pause on the album to completely focus my attention to rolling out this here film." "Takers " hits theaters Aug. 27.
