Big Boi

每年1月的第三個星期一是馬丁·路德·金的紀念日。但在過去的10年中，也是Big Boi開始制作專輯的日子。“過去的三張唱片，從《Stankonia》到《Speakerboxxx》,我總是在馬丁·路德·金的紀念日開始制作，包括最后的這張專輯。”這位亞特蘭大出生的歌星談到了這張幾乎完全在自己的Stankonia 錄音棚制作的新專輯。他已與Chrysalis Music Publishing 和 BMI （廣播音樂聯(lián)合會）簽約，由他們來負責發(fā)行，Marcus T. Grant 參與管理。

Outside his primary roles as André 3000's partner in OutKast and as one of the central members of the Dungeon Family, Big Boi (born Antwan André Patton) appeared on tracks by Missy Elliott ("All N My Grill"), Trick Daddy ("In da Wind"), Jay-Z ("Poppin' Tags"), Killer Mike ("A.D.I.D.A.S."), Beyoncé ("Hip Hop Star"), Brooke Valentine ("Girlfight"), Sleepy Brown ("Margarita"), and Fantasia ("Hood Boy"). As a solo artist, the MC had a minor hit in 2005 with "Kryptonite (I'm on It)," one of the year's best rap singles; it was the lead single from the officially released showcase for his Purple Ribbon label, the eclectic Got Purp?, Vol. 2, which featured the likes of Killer Mike and Sleepy Brown, as well as Janelle Monáe. Also involved in film (ATL, OutKast's Idlewild, Who's Your Caddy?) and even the stage (he worked with the Atlanta Ballet in 2008), Big Boi prepped his first solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, which was due for release during the summer of 2008.
