Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot...The Son Of Chico Dusty

Big Boi transformed into his more mature self, Sir Lucious Left Foot, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day last year and began recording his solo album 'Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty'. The day carried an extraordinary energy - similar to five years earlier on the same holiday, when Big Boi started working on 'Speakerboxxx', which went on to win two Grammys and sell 11 million albums as a double album alongside his OutKast partner-in-rhyme Andre 3000's 'The Love Below'.

Big Boi's had an activist spirit in his raps since OutKast's 1994 platinum debut 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'. In the beginning of their wild ride towards becoming the most successful rap group of all time with six multi-platinum albums, the Atlanta duo witnessed how deeply songs like 'Git Up, Git Out' featuring Goodie Mob - which earnestly urges young men to believe in themselves and better their lives - resonated with people across the world. "That was the first time we knew how songs could really move people," Big Boi says. "After that, we were always conscious to put something mind tingling into the music and give them more than they’re used to."
 
Sir Lucious Left Foot is the adult version of Big Boi, a grown man who is the son of Chico Dusty in more ways than one. Big Boi lost his father, nicknamed Tony Kearse, Chico Dusty while serving in the Air force and Marines, in 2004, but holds his pops' essence close, channelling it into his new album. "He will leave you in the dust," Big Boi says. "He was a wild boy."
