Rapper T.I. will announce the launch of his global “Give Like a King” campaign this Friday.

The rapper, actor and reality TV star is returning to his Bankhead neighborhood in Georgia to unveil his new campaign.

According to BCG, he is joining efforts with Veterans Empowerment Organization of Georgia (VEO) to help support homeless veterans.

VEO is an organization that brings food, shelter, and services to veterans in need.

Various community leaders and media outlets will be present for the December 14th press conference, where  T.I. is expected to explain his new campaign’s goals and initiatives.

The self-proclaimed “King of the South” has been busy this year.

In addition to his philanthropic efforts, the star released a memoir, Trouble & Triumph, earlier this year and is scheduled to drop his new album Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head next Tuesday, December 18th.
