美国著名说唱团体OutKast成员Big Boi将推出首张独唱专辑《Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty》。Big Boi已经摆脱了他发行首张个人专辑道路上的麻烦事 -- 从导致与前厂牌Jive Records分道扬镳的创新思路，到阻止OutKast搭档Andre 3000 客串他的新专辑的制作。但是，最近与Def Jam Records 签约之后，《Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty》终于在7月6日作为Big Boi 新独唱专辑发行。“和Big Boi在许多方面的再次共事让人既兴奋又刺激。”Island Def Jam 音乐部CEO Antonio “L.A.”Reid说，“这是一个17岁时就同我签约的歌星。他不仅已经获得格莱美奖并与Outkast 乐队共同达到销售发行的钻石奖，这已经是极少数人才能染指的高度，而且一直保持最有创造力的天才歌星之一。他的无比美妙的专辑证明了他的音乐在这个领域多么的不可或缺。再次回来与Big Boi合作，我很自豪。”让我们看一看Big Boi新专辑的前前后后。每年1月的第三个星期一是马丁·路德·金的纪念日。但在过去的10年中，也是Big Boi开始制作专辑的日子。“过去的三张唱片，从《Stankonia》到《Speakerboxxx》,我总是在马丁·路德·金的纪念日开始制作，包括最后的这张专辑。”这位亚特兰大出生的歌星谈到了这张几乎完全在自己的Stankonia 录音棚制作的新专辑。他已与Chrysalis Music Publishing 和 BMI （广播音乐联合会）签约，由他们来负责发行，Marcus T. Grant 参与管理。by Andy KellmanOutside 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.
