Birmingham already in an electrified state with 2023 Magic City Classic festivities turned up even further as rap sensation Tip “T.I.” Harris premiered his highly anticipated movie, DA’PARTMENTS in the city.

This red-carpet event drew fans and T.I. in tow with castmates and the likes of fellow musical artists such as wife, Tiny and friend Young Dro.

Set in modern-day Atlanta and inspired by real-life events, DA’PARTMENTS explores the fine line between the everyday struggles of the underprivileged and the enchantment hidden within an apartment complex.
