T.I. is heading to Las Vegas.

The Atlanta rapper will begin a residency at Drai’s Nightclub at the Cromwell on Saturday with plans to perform at the venue on a monthly basis.

The L.A. Times first reported that T.I. will join the lineup of largely hip-hop and R&B acts that regularly play Drai's – Chris Brown and Trey Songz among them – for its live concert series.

The news comes a little more than a week after T.I. played a hometown concert at Greenbriar Mall for Tidal and announced he is now an owner in the streaming service . Tip also released the video for "Money Talk," the first single from his upcoming "Dime Trap" album, on Tidal last week.

For more information about T.I.'s stint in Vegas, visit the Drais website.
