OutKast found huge commercial success with an experimental brand of hip hop, eschewing old-school samples in favor of new sounds. Big Boi has been the more musically prolific member of the group. He’s gone on to produce several solo albums and collaborate with artists across the music spectrum, from fellow ATL-based rapper Ludacris to funk-master George Clinton to the indie rock band Wavves.
Big Boi joins us to talk about the early days recording in a clay-walled basement, coming to terms with fame, and where to go musically when you’ve hit monumental commercial success.
Big Boi’s new album Boomiverse is out on June 16th.
