Currently “locked in the vault” is the “greatest” OutKast documentary, per Big Boi.

Snoop Dogg joined Big Boy on the Real 92.3 on Thursday, where he said that this November will mark the first time he’s ever voted because he previously thought that he wasn’t able to since he had a criminal record. “I ain’t never voted a day in my life, but this year I think Imma get […]
Being quarantined is making rap legends as nostalgic and reflective as the rest of us. Big Boi is, of course, one half of OutKast and a core member of the world-changing Atlanta collective the Dungeon Family (named after the crew’s original studio, the Dungeon, located in the basement of DF member Rico Wade’s mother’s house). And […]
YesJulz found herself back in headlines this week, after making a controversial comparison between OutKast and Dreamville duo EarthGang. “Earthgang is like the OutKast of this generation only with two Andre’s.
