T.I. may want to start saving up for some therapy sessions right about now.

The hit-making hip-hopster and girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle (formerly of the R&B vocal group Xscape) welcomed their second son together at the stroke of midnight this morning.

"God has blessed us with another miracle," T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, told People. The rapper, who is facing prison time after pleading guilty in March to federal weapons charges, celebrates the birth just months before he drops another baby: his new album, Paper Trail, is due Aug. 12.

The baby is his second with Cottle and his fifth offspring overall.

Checking in at 5 pounds, 15 ounces, the newborn was christened Major Harris—not so unusual in the greater scheme of celebrity baby names, but a far cry from his royally named big brother, King Harris.

At least he won't have to worry about suffering from delusions of grandeur.
