Presumably, an album isn’t far away, but we do know what’s coming soon for sure:

Speaking of Dungeon Family, it’s also been announced that the iconic collective will be going on tour — sans André 3000 (unless there’s a surprise appearance waiting), so there’s that — this April for 10 U.S. stops. You can check out Big Boi’s fresh clip and those tour dates below.

Perhaps in preparation for his appearance at this year’s Super Bowl (SMH), Big Boi gives the masses two new singles — “Doin’ It” (featuring Sleepy Brown) and “Return of the Dope Boi” (featuring Killer Mike and Backbone) — that presumably proceed a full-length follow-up to 2017’s Boomiverse.

It doesn’t feel like Boomiverse got the attention it truly deserved, but the album’s creator — Outkast legend Big Boi — is still very much on the scene.

The tour will run throughout the United States in the Fall, beginning September 25th in Hollywood, Florida.

In more related news, OutKast partner Andre 3000 sung praises about his long-time collaborator in a recent interview with GQ (which you can read in full here):

He always had the confidence, where I was kind of like the shy one… Big Boi can rap better than me — I always said that. If somebody said, “Pick who you want from OutKast to go to battle with you,” it wouldn’t be me. ’Cause like, what I’ma do? Say some mind shit? You can’t have thoughts in a battle—nobody gives a shit about that.

Back in April, five-year-old Abriya Ellison was shot by an unknown shooter while playing in her bouncy castle. Although Ellison survived the tragic incident, it left her paralyzed from the waist down. Once hearing of the Georgia native’s story, Big Boi began to reach out to Ellison and her family.

Abriya was gifted with a bulldog puppy that will be trained to be her service dog, courtesy of Big Boi’s Pitfall Kennels.

WSB Atlanta asked what she’d name her new puppy enthusiastically shouting, “King!”

The Atlanta news outlet also mentions Big Boi and his brother James will cover the animal’s vet care. Meanwhile, Patton will pay Ellison’s GoFundMe needs while also giving her a handicapped-accessible bathroom.

Despite what happened to her, the rapper took note of Abriya’s positive spirit and energy in an on-camera interview with WSB Atlanta.“She’s been through a lot and to see how strong she is now, that was just like ‘Oh my goodness.’ She’s definitely inspiring and it just touched our heart, so we’re just trying to do what we can do to help.”

Check out video of the interview here.
