Big Boi is all about remaining positive these days. With two hot singles out and a highly-anticipated second solo album [Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumours] on the way, Big Boi keeps his cool staying focused on what brings him the most joy—music!
British GQ recently caught up with the other half of the award-winning Outkast duo to discuss his latest fashion venture, the Atlanta music scene and whether or not we will see an Outkast reunion album. Here are a few excerpts from that interview…
On his new fashion line…
I’m the sock king! They’ve got a cape on the back – that’s how I flew here. I got my own socks line coming out with Crooks & Castles. Head over to 677 Antone Street, Atlanta Georgia, 30318 and get some!
On his second solo project…
It’s coming good, I just put out two records from it – “She Said OK” with Theophilus London and “Gossip” with UGK and Big K.R.I.T. The fans are excited. On the new album I’ve got Kid Cudi and Little Dragon. I just did a cut with A$AP Rocky the other night too, so it’s action-packed.
On the ATL Music scene…
Atlanta is just like a brotherhood. Everybody went to school together: it’s so tight-knit that we bump into each other in different spots all the time. There’s a certain camaraderie that goes around and everybody works with everybody. The music is sounding dope.
On Andre’s second solo project and reunion album…
He’s supposed to. You got to talk to him, that boy changes his mind so much I can’t even speak on that no more!
