I have been known to answer "Outkast", when someone asks me that question. You know, 'What is your favorite band?' I don't know who asks that, but when they do, I answer "Outkast" like every time.
Seriously though, with his new album, Big Boi proves that whatever is called hip-hop these days is something that is far from 'dead', and also that while so many people talk about how they are the best MC's alive, or in the game, or posting ill freestyles on Dope Tracks or any other thang thang, he probably gon make you wanna jump back in the lab...
...I'm just sayin.
I am now super shook on posting the big name album tracks prior to their release (or after for that matter) due to blog deletions and other booull shiiiit, so here go the video to the first single, which is a BANGUH produced by former member of The Roots (yes, for real) and newly recovered snowman Scott Storch, who seems to not have lost his touch. I mean. The jam is monkey. Like going ape. Like bananas.
Thank you Daddy Fat Sacks.
Oh, and when you find this stellar LP, listen for these:
- Follow Us Ft. Vonnegutt (Produced By Salaam Remi) - Tangerine Ft. T.I. And Khujo Goodie (Produced By Knightheet And Big Boi) - You Ain't No DJ Ft. Yelawolf (Produced By Andre 3000) (not crazy bout the Yela verses, but Andre's beat is RIDIC) - Hustle Blood Ft. Jamie Foxx (Produced By Lil' Jon) - Fo Yo Sorrows Ft. George Clinton, Too Short And Sam Chris (Produced By Organized Noize) - Shine Blockas Ft. Gucci Mane (Produced By DJ Cutmaster Swiff Co-Produced By Big Boi) - Back Up Plan (Produced By Organized Noize Co-Produced By Big Boi)
These guys are my faves since waaaaaaaaaaayy back in the day. I'm talkin like early fall 2007 and shit!
Just about everything they do is en fuego, and now here they come with Mishka to bring you to the point of heat stroke madness (except in a way much more pleasureable than sitting on the 405 for an hour with no AC today) with their spankin shiny new mix, Trillwave.

I am in Central Maine right now and shit is HOT. I'm talking 98˚ with like 100% humidity. Nah, well maybe not THAT high, but you can't move without sweating. Making me long for my L.A. weather! Ha. That's kinda not funny though.
Ok, well, to help all of us party people put a funky ass whooping on this sweaty situation comes the OG U-Tern with his One Day Later Radio #69 Mix, this one is aimed directly at the beach goers, the boat breezers, the river bridge jumpers, the lake loungers, and anyone getting their serious summer on.
