BIG BOI PUTS HIS 'LEFT FOOT' FORWARD: Rapper working on his first solo album, led by current single 'Royal Flush.'

(May 16, 2008)

*OutKast's Big Boi eyes the end of August as a recording deadline for his first solo album, "Sir Luscious Left Foot ... Son of Chico Dusty," due later this year via Laface/Zomba.

A video for the first single "Royal Flush," featuring OutKast partner Andre 3000 and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon, will be shot in the coming weeks by director Bryan Barber, reports Billboard.com. The second single will be "The World is Too Big" featuring Mary J. Blige.

Big Boi worked with his usual Organized Noise production crew as well as long-time collaborator Mr. DJ on "Sir Luscious"

"This album is Big Boi to the extreme," the rapper tells Billboard. "It's like a recession special. I'm talking about what's going on in the world, with everything from rising gas prices to the election. It's just my insights on life up to this point."
