T.I. Talks His Career in Acting and New Music, As His New Crime-Drama Premieres On Amazon Prime

When Ice Cube, Tupac, and Ice-T were taking over 80s and 90s music and film, Atlanta boy Clifford Harris could have only imagined what life would be like with that same multifaceted success in the entertainment industry. And yet today, albums aplenty under “T.I.” and movie roles under “Tip Harris,” youngsters aspire for his same versatility as a rapper-actor.
Months after the rapper’s “Us Or Them” EP, we meet Tip Harris again, cast as a scientist in charge of mass production in the fictional Santa Blanca drug cartel. Ubisoft and Amazon developed a live-action promo film to introduce the March 7th installment of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchise, Ghost Recon Wildlands. The film War Within the Cartel focuses an elite Special Forces unit’s plan to stop the cartel in Bolivia—smashing the workings of an action movie with a crime-drama, and boasting a team of producer Orlando Jones, executive producer Roberto Orci, and director Avi Youbian of The Walking Dead. The 30-minute narrative plus Tip’s character, cartel member Marcus, come from the minds of acclaimed writers Don Winslow and Shane Salerno. “I really have never seen so much narrative invested into a video game before. It was the first time that I’ve actually ever seen that done,” Tip told The Source, “I was impressed cause it seemed like a feature film or a television series or something.” The film also stars Tony Plana, Steven Weber, and D.J. Cotrona.
