Hawaii Five-0 is sending T.I. back in time.

The Grammy nominated rapper — who currently recurs on Starz’s Boss — will guest-star in an October episode of the CBS cop drama, TVLine has learned exclusively.

He’ll appear via a series of flashbacks as a member of a crime syndicate investigated by a Jersey-based Danny (Scott Caan) and his partner back in 2001. The fallout from the case is said to have had a huge impact on Danno’s life.

As previously reported, the time-jumping installment also features big-screen star Terrance Howard — who will play opposite the hip hopper — and Kardashian kiddo Kendall Jenner.

Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 launches Monday, Sept. 24 at 9/8c.

Enough with the ‘big name’ guests. It didn’t work with Sean Puffy Diddy Combs.

I don’t necessarily care who is in this episode, I’m just excited for it. I’ve always wanted to see more about Danny’s life pre-Hawaii.
