Rapper T.I., a.k.a. Clifford Harris, who since March has been serving a 366-day sentence on weapons charges, has been released from a low-security penitentiary in Forrest City, Ark., and moved to a halfway house in Atlanta, a move that his attorney said is not unusual.

"It happens across the board as long as the inmates are eligible," attorney Steve Sadow told E! Online. "They decided that three months in a halfway house would assist him with reentering society."

As they try to bring Vibe magazine back from the dead, its new owners and editor have chosen a provocative subject for the new incarnation's first cover: Chris Brown, who could use a little resuscitation himself.

The cover with Chris Brown, who is attempting a comeback after pleading guilty in June to felony assault on fellow performer and now ex-girlfriend Rihanna, actually shares the print run with covers featuring Drake, another hip-hop artist. But it's the Chris Brown cover that's more likely to get people talking.

Seeking to push rap music to evolve and set an example for younger artists, all the while continuing to pursue his own maturing creative desires, are a few of the many things chart-topping rapper and hip hop mogul Jay-Z has got on the brain.

Age figures prominently in the Brooklyn-raised rap star's most recent musical development and what inspires him.

"The challenge with rap music is, you know, the place where it's white hot is with 16- and 15-year-olds. You have a lot of people who are 30-something, 30-plus, still recording music like they were 15 because that's where the most urgent buyer is," the rapper told CBC Radio's Q in an interview broadcast Monday.

Jay-Z set to announce benefit concert for 9/11 victims at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 11 for the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund, a charity created in 1985 to support the families of police officers and firefighters who have died in the line of duty. The concert, which comes on the day his new album, “The Blueprint 3,” will be released, will also be broadcast by Fuse, the cable music channel. Ticket information has not been announced.
