Outside his primary roles as André 3000's partner in OutKast and as one
of the central members of the Dungeon Family, Big Boi (born Antwan André
Patton) appeared on tracks by Missy Elliott ("All N My Grill"), Trick
Daddy ("In da Wind"), Jay-Z ("Poppin' Tags"), Killer Mike
("A.D.I.D.A.S."), Beyoncé ("Hip Hop Star"), Brooke Valentine
("Girlfight"), Sleepy Brown ("Margarita"), and Fantasia ("Hood Boy").
As a solo artist, the MC had a minor hit in 2005 with "Kryptonite (I'm
on It)," one of the year's best rap singles; it was the lead single from
the officially released showcase for his Purple Ribbon label, the
eclectic Got Purp?, Vol. 2, which featured the likes of Killer Mike and
Sleepy Brown, as well as Janelle Monáe. Also involved in film (ATL,
OutKast's Idlewild, Who's Your Caddy?) and even the stage (he worked
with the Atlanta Ballet in 2008), Big Boi prepped his first solo album,
Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, which is due for release
in 2010.
