For all of you old Outkast fans, hope has not fully died. We know that you have gotten plenty of excitement with all the news of the “Outkast Reunion” (which will not happen according to Andre 3000).. but we’ve got a big dose of Big Boi coming your way. The Atlanta veteran has officially announced the dates for his new Spring/Summer Tour titled “Shoes For Running” to back his recent album release “Vicious Lies, and Dangerous Rumors”. To the tour will kick off in April in Atlanta, and rap up in June back on the east coast in Massachusetts. For the entire list of tour dates, hit the jump!

Former Outkast Legend, now solo recording artist and one of Atlanta’s finest, Big Boi, made a major return to music these past few months with hit records like “Mama Told Me”, “Up In The A”, and The Pink Matter remix with Frank Ocean and Andre 3000. The MC, in the peek of his career got a chance to sit down with Power 106′s Big Boi’s Neighborhood and chop up all things hip hop and life. The ATLien talks on a plethora of topics ranging from his new album “Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors” to all of the rumors of an Outkast reunion with former label mate Andre 3000.

13. T.I. – Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head – 23,000 - It’s about time Tip release a new single, despite “Ball” growing on me as the weeks have gone by. I’m actually a huge fan of the record now. That said, it’d be nice to hear another record get the single treatment. A video for “Trouble Man” with R. Kelly would be dope. 

14. Kendrick Lamar – GKMC – 36,000 - At 620,000, and pending it can continue selling around this mark for the foreseeable future, there’s an outside shot at platinum for K. Dot. Keyword: outside. That’s a compliment we’re even discussing it though.

A tribute to how it goes down in the A?..(A  short for Atlanta for those of your unfamiliar). Well who else but the three biggest rap names from the area since Chicken & Beer. Big Boi, King of the South T.I. and Ludacris team up to bring fourth the visual “In The A”. Directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos, these three veterans show us how Atlanta really gets down… and their outtake on it is far from the hood-luxury of Love & Hip Hop ATL. Check it out after the jump!

Twas six days before Christmas, and the sales numbers were… 

ATL Based rapper Big Boi took the mic recently at T.I.’s listening party for this Tuesday’s release of “Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head” and shared some opinions on his former group member Andre 3000. Andre has been teaming up with a number of different artist recently including Ke$A, Lil Wayne and more, and Big Boi makes it clear that he approves. Despite the rumor mill running that these two have not been getting along, we were happy to see that Big Boi thinks Andre still has the light of creativity. Check it out after the jump…
