One of hip hop’s top collaborators, Big Boi, is back with a new release from his latest regular partner. The six-time Grammy winner and Atlanta legend is teaming up with Sleepy Brown for a brand new album, The Big Sleepover (out Sept. 3 via HITCO).

Big Boi Teams With Sleepy Brown, Killer Mike on ‘We The Ones’
We’re approaching the 20th anniversary of OutKast’s landmark Stankonia, but Big Boi doesn’t appear to be looking back. The veteran Atlanta emcee linked up with longtime Dungeon Family collaborator Sleepy Brown for yet another track, “We the Ones,” ahead of their long-awaited collab record The Big Sleepover.

It follows the June release of the pair’s joint track “Can’t Sleep,” only increasing fans’ excitement for the new project even more. “It’s produced by Organized Noize, and it’s me and Sleepy Brown all the way down, man, and we’re gonna drop that shit in a couple...

Roll out the red carpet for Atlanta hip-hop royalty. Big Boi is back, releasing his a single “Can’t Sleep” that features none other than the Dungeon Family’s own Sleepy Brown.

And after teasing the pair’s joint venture last year, titled The Big Sleepover, he’s now promising to finally deliver. Along with sharing the new single on Twitter, Big Boi writes that the album is coming soon, with the ever-so-promising hashtag “TheBigSleepover.” “It’s produced by Organized Noize, and it’s me and Sleepy Brown all the way down, man, and we’re gonna drop that shit in a couple months and keep it movi...
