Big Boi and Killer Mike have put together a new mixtape in support of their Shoes for Running Tour . It's mostly comprised of past collaborations between the two rappers, but there is one exclusive: a remix of Big Boi's "In The A" featuring Killer Mike. Take a listen below (via Potholes in my Blog) . Check out Big Boi's upcoming tour schedule, including those dates with Killer Mike. Big Boi 2013 Tour Dates: [...]
A few months back we learned that Big Boi and B.o.B would be teaming up in the new video game Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel for both the theme song and as playable characters in the game. Today we get the visuals for said theme song "Double Or Nothing" in which the two rapper renegades are on a mission to rescue two helpless strippers dancers who have been captured by a Mexican drug cartel. Predictably they take out the entire cartel in Macgyver-like fashion and [...]
I realize everyone and their mothers would love to see an Outkast reunion sometime in the near future, but let's be honest with ourselves. That's probably not going to happen anytime soon, and to be quite honest, with the way Big Boi has been killing it lately, we should be happy that at least he's still making new tunes for us all to enjoy. Case and point, this new tune and video for "Apple Of My Eye", which for some reason features the guys of Epic Meal Time. Not sure why, but the [...]
After taking a crack at the Notorious B.I.G. last year, young producer Woody has shifted his sights onto some different elder statesmen of the hip hop world for 2013. It's Outkast's turn to receive the remix treatment now, and with Woody applying the finishing touches to this long-promised project, the leaks are beginning to flow. 'B.O.B.' is the latest cut to surface from Woody, and it's a goodie; the out-and-out sprint of the original has been replaced by a slower, scatty shuffle, with frenetic percussion keeping the energy high. Woody's Outkast [...]
After some beef had risen a few months ago, Ms. Jackson hasn't been the only one deserving of an apology within the Outkast duo. Rap partners Big Boi and Andre 3000 have had some disagreements recently after 3 stacks was apparently too busy to record bars for his homie's Vicious Lie and Dangerous Rumors album and reportedly "had to do some Gillette shit". There were other disputes between the ATL team that fueled the fire but the flames were quickly extinguished after Andre apologized over his guest verse in T.I.'s Sorry [...]
When Frank Ocean recruited the help of Andre 3000 for "Pink Matter," in the back of his head you know he wanted OutKasts to reunite. Even if it wasn't in the same studio. Progress is progress. Justin Timberlake is back with his old frind Timbaland on the boombastic "Suit and Tie" with a couple of verses by Mr. NYC himself, Jay - Z. Timberlake is looking at releasing "The 20/20 Experience" sometime this year. Lastly, Destiny's Child's new "Nuclear" single produced by Pharrell Williams is a burner. I can't wait for [...]
For all the fans out there hoping for an official Outkast reunion, this remix of "Pink Matter" from Frank Ocean is definitely a step in the right direction. On the new tune, the former partners in rhyme lay some silky vocals over an overly sexual beat that would make even the most celibate of men thrust their loins forth in a slow-grinding motion. Too specific of a visual? Well listen to the new tune and tell me that's not the first thing that comes to your mind... [...]
Big Boi joins fellow OutKast member Andre 3000 on the remix to Frank Ocean's "Grey Matter". Hope the that it's not too long before we hear the next OutKast song.
Here's the new remix of Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter" featuring both Big Boi and André 3000 , marking the first time the Outkast members have appeared on the same track in several years. Stream a tagged version below (via HipHop-N-More ). As previously reported , Frank Ocean originally intended for both Big Boi and André 3000 to be on the version "Pink Matter" found on channel ORANGE . However, as Big Boi explained in [...]
One half of the Outkast duo, Big Boi, recently dropped his debut solo album ' Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors' album on December 11th. The album's latest single, "She Hates Me," features a guest appearance from Kid Cudi, who doesn't spit a verse but instead delivers a pretty awesome hook. You can stream the song below:
Upon the official release of his second solo studio album, Big Boi held a listening party for Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors to give fans a live listen to the soundtrack. The ATLien performed one of the tracklist's most highly acclaimed songs titled Lines alongside guest features A$AP Rocky and Phantogram. You already know Mr. Pretty Mothafucka of the A$AP Mob, but Phantogram perhaps not so much. And if you have, you're ahead of me. The New York based musicians have been a rising electro/pop duo for the [...]
So we recently heard the first of two Little Dragon features on Big Boi's Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors LP, last week in "Mama Told Me". Today, the Swedish duo is back and brought Jai Paul with them. "Higher Res", may be one of Big Boi's oddest tracks, but I won't question the leader of Hip-Hop's most wanted group. VLDR is due tomorrow. Hit the jump for today's stream. Watch our recent video interview with Big Boi from his recent Listening Party in Chicago.
Rounding out the rest of Outkast Day, this afternoon we’re featuring Big Boi’s latest drop “She Hates Me” featuring Kid Cudi. Remember boys and girls Outkast is your friend. If you don’t know? Shiiiiit.. Read a Book.
I honestly couldn't think of a better way to end this weekend than with some new music from Big Boi and Kid Cudi . And while this track will appear on Big Boi's forthcoming Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors album out next Tuesday December 11th, the influence of Cudder on this track is more than apparent. There's such a smooth vibe to "She Hates Me" that really makes this track seem like it just goes on forever while everything else around you just fades away. That could also be because this track [...]
With the release of Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors less than two weeks away, Big Boi has let loose the album track “She Hates Me” featuring Kid Cudi . Take a listen at Miss Info . Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors arrives December 11th via Def Jam. Other album tracks include “Mama Told Me” , “Lines” featuring ASAP Rocky and Phantogram , and "In The A" featuring Ludacris and T.I.

There are just nine days left until the release of Big Boi’s second solo album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors , and today we get a first listen to the highly anticipated track She Hates Me featuring Kid Cudi . She Hates features Big Boi going in over a laid back beat, discussing the troubles of trying to win back a girl that has gone by the wayside, while Cudder delivers with a dope hook. Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors drops December 11th, and Cudi’s [...]
"BOY CHECK THE RESUME, IT'S RISKY BUSINESS IN THE A". When it comes to bangers, there's no better music to lose your shit to than to the sounds of the Atlanta rap scene. R ap OG Big Boi brought fellow ATLiens Ludacris and T.I. on his track titled In The A to give the nation a bangin veteran collaboration. Did I not say today was one for masterful collaborations? THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE??? Filled with dopeness, every verse delivers psychotic flow as each rapper completely loses their mind, bashing the beat's brains in over and [...]
For our latest taste of Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors , Big Boi calls on fellowATL rap legends Ludacris and T.I. for a hometown anthem entitled "In The A". Produced by Showdown, DJ Aries, & Black Owned C-Bone, the track's mix of hyperactive samples and menacing bass is perfectly suited for the slang of each rapper, but it's Sir Lucious who comes out on top with lyrical napalm ("I'm brand new-bian/Brand new again/Never get old/When I was little they said, 'Boy you had an old soul'/Ride with some pimps on the ho stroll/Now that's [...]
Big Boi’s last album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty , was one of my favorite releases of 2010. The seemingly conservative member of OutKast proved to be anything but with a record inspired by multiple genres that featured guests from George Clinton to obscure pop-rock band Vonnegutt . This latest cut, “Lines,” (featuring HCM favorites A$AP Rocky and Phantogram ) has me super stoked for the upcoming LP, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors . As incredible and “out there” Andre 3000 has been, “Lines” shows us that Andre [...]
