T.I. shared the news on Instagram on Friday (Sept. 21) with a Trap Music trailer. The clip features classical music over images of Roman architecture and sculptures mixed with video of paintings of some of the most well known trap rappers and throwback footage of artists like Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Shawty Lo and others.
This year is the 15th anniversary of T.I.’s sophomore album Trap Muzik, which played into the timing of the exhibit. T.I. spoke about the importance of the museum in his post.
“This for US!!! All US!!!” he started. “All contributors to the culture of Trap Muzik!!! No matter who you are or how you’ve contributed…Consider this just as much yours as it is anybody’s.
