Sir Lucious Left foot… The Son of Chico Dusty is the critically acclaimed debut solo album from Atlanta’s own Big Boi of the multi platinum Grammy Award winning duo Outkast. The critically acclaimed album has garnered a rare Best New Critics pic 9.2 rating from Pitchfork Music, A- grade from Rolling Stone Magazine amongst rave reviews from USA Today, Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stereogum, Los Angeles Times, XXL and The Source amongst others. Described as funk hip hop music for the electro-soul, the album sees the stylistically progressive musician deliver hip pop gems alongside star-studded line up including Outkast partner Andre 3000, T.I, Gucci Mane, Janelle Monae, B.o.B, and Jamie Foxx. Recorded at Stankonia studio, the same home that created all of Outkast’s multi platinum albums including 2003’s landmark 11 times platinum(15x worldwide) Speakerboxx/The Love Below which garnered three Grammys(including Best Rap Album and Album Of the Year). Touted as one of 2010’s best albums by Blackbook Magazine and Prefix, The New Yorker comments “The album’s mood is decidedly upbeat, and almost every song has a spring in its step, if not a small jetpack” and Billboard remarked “He has remained one of the most creative talents in hip hop today. His incredible solo debut proves how vital his music is to this culture”.
