T.I. has begun his 11 month sentence at a minimum-security federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas.
Tip's lawyer Steve Sadow confirmed to Eonline that he turned himself in this morning.
"I can confirm he is in prison. He reported before the due time, which I think was noon," Sadow said.
Before turning himself in Tip tweeted his fans thanking them for continuing to support him.
Tip finished his next album, 'No Mercy' and shot a video for it's next single "Get Back Up", witch features singer Chris Brown.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has just ended much angst by signing to fight Pomona's Shane Mosley in a May 1 welterweight fight between two of the world's top pound-for-pound fighters, Mosley's attorney told The Times.
"Everything's good to go, it'll be a great fight, and the world will see what a great fighter Shane is at 147 pounds," Mosley's attorney Judd Burstein told The Times.
The bout is expected to be staged at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Minutes earlier Wednesday, promoter Richard Schaefer just hung up the phone with me to talk to Mayweather Jr.'s manager after expressing frustration with the delayed signing of the unbeaten Mayweather (40-0).
"I don't know, he just hasn't signed yet, I'm told everything is OK," Schaefer had said around noon.
"It would've been good to have him sign two days ago. We could've gotten him down to Miami and talked to all the [reporters] on radio row. I really don't know what's happening. I'm told the signing is forthcoming."
He was right.

Atlanta rapper T.I. was officially been released from a low-security federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas today (December 22).
The rapper, born Clifford Harris Jr., is expected to report to Dismas Charities Atlanta West correctional center tonight, where he will spend three months.
T.I. was sentenced to 366 days in prison after an October 2007 incident, in which federal agents caught him attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers.
After he has finished his stay at Dismas Charities Atlanta West, the rapper must complete 500 hours of community service, in addition to another 23 days of house arrest.
T.I. is expected to work during the three months he is confined to the halfway house, according to reports.
