Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke said the artist, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was released Wednesday morning from the Forrest City low-security prison in Arkansas.

The rapper was sentenced to 11 months in prison in October for breaking his federal probation after he was arrested in Los Angeles on drug charges. He was set to be released at the end of September, but prison authorities released him a month early.

His attorney, Jonathan Leonard, confirmed T.I. was released but did not immediately say where his client is going.
