Big Boi is bringing some southern swag to a city near you.
The Atlanta rapper has announced dates for his “Shoes for Running”, a 45-city North American trek kicks off April 18 in his homestate of Georgia.
“To play your music in front of the fans that love it, it’s like the best feeling in the world,” Big Boi tells Rolling Stone. “Just jamming out with all walks of life.”
The 90-minute set will include new tracks off his latest album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors as well as classic OutKast records and cuts off his 2010 solo debut Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.
“It’s just nonstop action,” he says of the tour, which may even feature some surprise guests.
His fellow Dungeon Family member Killer Mike will join him as the opening act and will appear during his main set each night. “It’ll be a nice block of Killer Mike and Big just killing shit,” he explains. “We’re gonna do just about all the records that me and him recorded together.”
