The eternally talented André 3000 might’ve gotten most of the mainstream attention, but longtime Outkast fans have always known the truth: Big Boi is where it’s at. Following the slow-mo dissolution of that groundbreaking duo (RIP), Big Boi’s put out a slew of phenomenal solo albums—and from Sir Lucious Left Foot to Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors to Boomiverse, each has boasted earwormy tracks propelled by impossibly catchy beats, Big Boi’s hypnotically deft delivery, and a guest list that’s ranged from Janelle Monae to A$AP Rocky to Killer Mike. Now Big Boi’s playing the Roseland, giving you a chance to see both a legit legend of hip-hop and an artist who's still pushing the genre forward.
