Last month, Big Boi teamed up with Sleepy Brown and Killer Mike for ‘Lower Case (No Cap)’. The track was lifted from Big Boi and Sleepy Brown’s upcoming joint LP, ‘The Big Sleepover’, which is out next Friday (September 3)
Big Boi’s last full-length solo release was his 2017 album, ‘Boomiverse’.
“This is like the twelfth album that I’ve been a part of: fourth solo, but twelfth overall,” he explained to NME at the time.
“When you’re making so many records, you don’t want two songs to sound the same, ever. And one part of the formula is taking people on a ride: swing people one way, then come back another, zig zag.
“But everything is cohesive in this one complete body of work, so they can get a full experience of where you [the artist] are, and they can feel the music. The music is supposed to evoke emotion.”
