A rep for AKOO clothing tells TMZ, the company's sales soared by 25% in the last year ... while the rapper served time for drug possession.

The company rep said they hadn't seen such a surge in popularity since T.I.'s MTV reality show "[b]Road to Redemption[/b]" premiered in 2009.

The rep says they're preparing for another spike in sales -- when T.I. is set free next week after completing his drug sentence.

So crime does pay?
