Holy S***, is this a shocker!
and a new single
Look at the DF goats, we made it, fam.
blurb from Hip Hop DX:
o coincide with the announcement, the duo has shared a new single called “The Big Sleep Is Over,” a dancehall-leaning track featuring Jamaican vocalist Kay-I. With trunk-rattling 808s peppered with a dash of Caribbean flavor, the mellow beat allows Big Boi to effortlessly take command of the track.
Coupled with an animated visual that finds a miniature cartoon version of Big Boi exploring a marijuana field on top of a flying ladybug, it’s a trippy journey that will likely appease any Outkast fan.
The visual doesn’t exactly match up to the seriousness of the lyrics, though, which explore police brutality and Big Boi’s tumultuous journey to greatness.
The Big Sleepover was first teased in 2019, after the release of the duo’s hit single “Intentions” featuring Goodie Mob’s CeeLo Green. They went on to release subsequent singles “Can’t Sleep,” “We The Ones” with Killer Mike and Big Rube and “lower case (no cap)” again with Killer Mike.
The album is expected to arrive on Friday (September 3). Until then, check out “The Big Sleep Is Over” and cover art below.

Thats shockingly soon
Yes & no. Because I believe they did have the lp recorded a year ago because they ran with the Cee-Lo single and then they had a follow up and then the pandemic hit... and they were like silent
But I knew something was up when they opened up for Wu Tang. Which is kinda odd but makes the sense at the same time
This single with a feature makes me think of this you got a singer in your duo. You got someone chanting melodic but he only does a 40 second part. What's going on here? And not only that, same thing in lower case song.
Now maybe Sleepy duo is not because of just singing but because he's co-producing and playing. I don't think most people know but he's the keyboardist for Organized.
His dad is a legendary musician with the band "Brick" Great group
I hope the album is either really long or they cut a few of the early singles.
Otherwise we've heard like 5-6 songs already.
I can do without Intentions and We the Ones on the album. But Can't sleep, lower case and this new one are FIRE.

I recall Big Boi saying in an interview that the tracklist is like 14-15 songs. I'm not sure which singles will be included but soon we will find out.
I jam the s*** out of We The Ones ever since it dropped on the Organized Noize ep in 2017.
I want big boi to have a moment on this album where the Internet starts giving him the high praise he deserves

Unlikely sadly
Music makes the world go 'round
Where it goes (Where it goes)
Ya' just don't know (Ya' just don't know)
My heart is like a marching band
I'm a fan in the stands
Yes I am and I'm hollerin' 'Hey, baby'
Sayin' 'Hey, baby'
