Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors

A maximalist collision of Atlanta funk and indie-pop. Big Boi navigates neon synths and heavy bass with the technical precision of a veteran master.

It's what happens when a rap legend spends a summer hanging out with indie bands and decides to out-produce them all.

A high-energy, neon-soaked exploration of the intersection between Southern grit and electronic pop.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The seamless transition where Phantogram's icy synth-pop vocals melt into Big Boi's rapid-fire Southern drawl on Lines.

The heavy, distorted bass drop on In the A that anchors the album back to its Atlanta roots.

The unexpected surf-rock guitar bridge on Shoes for Running that shifts the energy from hip-hop to indie-pop.
