T.I. and Tidal just got a bit closer.

Prior to his livestream Tidal X: TIP concert from Atlanta's Greenbriar Mall, the rapper announced that he has become the 19th artist-owner of Tidal, the music-entertainment platform that has enlisted other music heavyweights including Madonna, Jay Z, Beyonce, Coldplay and Lil Wayne.

T.I. will release his forthcoming 10th studio album, "Dime Trap," on his Grand Hustle Records label, but he has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Jay Z's Roc Nation.

The video for "Dime Trap''s first single, "Money Talk," will debut at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday exclusively on Tidal. Check it out at tidal.com/tip. The single is also currently available for streaming on Tidal as well.
