Big Boi reveals some album details - 07.20.2012


Big Boi has been working on his follow-up to 2010's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, and some key details have emerged courtesy of a Billboard report. The album is titled Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors and is slated for release Nov. 13. It's not 100 percent finished, but Big Boi expects to wrap it up next month.

The album will include guest appearances by Little Dragon, Phantogram, A$AP Rocky and Kid Cudi, though, unfortunately, the tracks Big Boi worked on with Modest Mouse probably won't make it on to this album. Maybe next time.
