First up, Zane Lowe<\/span><\/strong> globally premieres “Mic Jack<\/span>“<\/strong> [feat. Adam Levine<\/span><\/strong>] to audiences worldwide on Apple Music’s Beats 1<\/strong> April 20 at 9:30am PT<\/span> as his latest “World Record<\/strong>.“<\/strong> In addition, Big Boi<\/strong> grants Lowe<\/strong> an exclusive interview about “Mic Jack<\/span><\/strong>,” Boomiverse<\/em><\/strong>, and much more. Big Boi will also reveal a second new song “Kill Jill”<\/strong> [feat. Killer Mike <\/strong>& Jeezy<\/strong>]. Boomiverse<\/em><\/strong> isn’t just a new galaxy for Big Boi<\/strong>; it’s a new galaxy for hip-hop at large.<\/p>\n

Produced by DJ Dahi [Kendrick Lamar<\/span>, Drake] and DJ Khalil [Eminem, A$AP Rocky], “Mic Jack<\/span>“<\/strong> pairs the rapper’s inimitable groove and flow with a seismically catchy hook courtesy of Levine<\/strong>. Meanwhile, “Kill Jill”<\/strong> stands out as an exercise in true Atlanta<\/span> swagger and raw lyrical fireworks, uniting Killer Mike<\/strong>, Jeezy<\/strong>, and Big Boi<\/strong> on a hyper-charged banger.<\/p>\n

On April 24, Big Boi<\/strong> takes over the stage at NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em> for the first television performance of “Mic Jack<\/span><\/strong>.“<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of history’s tightest and most clever rhyme mavericks, Big Boi<\/strong>‘s indelible influence courses throughout two generations of rap music. As one-half of OutKast<\/strong>, he achieved six GRAMMY® Awards, sold 25 million records, and created a string of music’s most influential work, including Aquemini<\/em><\/strong>, Stankonia<\/em><\/strong>, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik<\/em><\/strong>, and Speakerboxxx\/The Love Below<\/em><\/strong>—which went RIAA Diamond making OutKast<\/strong> the first and only hip-hop artist in history to win the GRAMMY® for ‘Album of the Year.‘ Big Boi’s<\/strong> 2010 solo debut, Sir Lucious Left Foot<\/span>: The Son of Chico Dusty<\/em><\/strong>, bowed at #3 on the Billboard <\/em>Top 200 and received unanimous critical acclaim with Pitchfork <\/em>proclaiming it one of the “100 Best Albums of the Decade ‘So Far'” and topping year-end lists from Time<\/em>, Paste<\/em>, Vibe<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n

His 2012 follow-up Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors<\/em><\/strong> enamored tastemakers and fans alike and boasted collaborations with A$AP Rocky<\/strong>, Killer Mike<\/strong>, Kid Cudi, <\/strong>and more. In 2015, Big Boi<\/strong> collaborated with Phantogram<\/strong> to create supergroup Big Grams. <\/strong>Their debut self-titled album was released to critical and fan delight.<\/p>\n
