UP NORTH TRIP

Rubber-Band man T.I.P Harris could be out of the limelight for a while, as he's due to report to federal prison for a one year sentence starting at the end of the month.


Here's a fuller recap snagged from Billboard.com:

"The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford J. Harris Jr., will be serving his sentence of one year and a day at the Forrest City low-security federal prison. Paperwork filed in his federal court case shows he has until noon on May 26 to report for his sentence.

Prison officials didn't immediately return a call Friday for comment.

Harris pleaded guilty to the charges after he tried to buy a stash of machine guns and silencers to protect himself after his best friend was killed. He will also pay a $100,000 fine as part of his sentence."
