The OutKast axis isn’t just one of the longest running hip-hop outfits, they’re also one of the most consistently spectacular—and they know it. As Big Boi notes on his newish single “Shutterbug,” other rappers are “playing in the game but you’re under my cleats.”
“Shutterbug” is one of the singles of the moment—catchy as hell, weirdly idiosyncratic, a smash but also a game changer. “General Patton,” the second track that’s bubbled up from Big Boi’s upcoming album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty, is also epic and operatic and funky as hell. Unfortunately, Big Boi has indicated that, while there won’t be any verbal duets with his usual Outkast partner-in-rhyme, the equally adventurous Andre 3000, there will be one track on Sir Lucious produced by Andre, and probably some internet leaks of other tracks with the pair sharing the mic as well. Either way, it’s clear Big Boi is getting hip-hop back on the good foot with his next-level summer jams.
