Details on the cross-country trip were released late Wednesday (August 25) night.

The ATLien is promoting his new opus in a number of ways. Now, Big Boi can reach the masses on a more personal level as he embarks on a U.S. tour, appropriately titled “Son of Chico Dusty.” Commencing in Atlanta at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on August 26, the rapper will be greeting fans with several tracks from his debut, including his singles “Shutterbugg” and “Follow Us,” which features the Purple Ribbon recording group Vonnegutt. Big Boi will also perform classics from the OutKast catalog. (Rap-Up)

He recently compared working on a solo album to an OutKast project alongside group member Andre 3000.

“The difference [with making this album] was the writing load,” Big Boi reveals. “When it’s me and Dre, I’d write maybe two verses and somebody would take care of the hook, and we would do the beat together. But when it’s just me, I write the verse and the hook, so the writing load was heavier. Dre and I have been working together and separately since the Aquemini album. We had our own separate home studios, so we would do records, put all our ideas down and then we would meet up at the studio with a gang of music, songs [and] lyrics and stitch them together. Now, all of the ideas are coming from me and various artists that I work with on the album. It’s not really a big difference because [Dre and I] are used to not working hip-to-hip all of the time.” (Rolling Out)
