Boomiverse

Boomiverse, released in 2017, serves as Big Boi's third solo studio effort and a consolidation of his status as a pillar of Southern hip-hop. Following his experimental collaboration with Phantogram as Big Grams, this record sees him returning to a more recognizable solo palette while incorporating diverse influences ranging from Kate Bush to Tribe Called Quest. The production is a collaborative effort involving long-time associates Organized Noize and Scott Storch, alongside modern hitmakers like DJ Dahi. This blend results in an album that feels both 'old school' in its commitment to groove and 'new school' in its sonic fidelity. The record is notable for its commercial reach, particularly the single 'All Night,' which achieved significant visibility through high-profile sync licensing. Critics noted that while it may lack the experimental sprawl of his debut, it reestablishes him as a reliable craftsman of high-energy, technically proficient rap that transcends generational divides.
