Boi’s in town

As one half of Grammy winning duo Outkast, Big Boi was part of one of the most flamboyant rap duos in recent history. Since going solo, he’s cited Kate Bush as a major inspiration and released one of the best albums of last year, the preposterously-named Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

After brief promotional performances in Australia last year, he’s back for a full tour in August, performing solo hits like Shutterbugg as well as Outkast classics including I Like The Way You Move and So Fresh So Clean, all accompanied by bass, guitar, horns, DJ and hype man. Tour info is below – and check out Shutterbugg, one of the hottest tracks and videos of last year.
