Roll over Tchaikovsky, and tell Beethoven the news: Outkast's Antwan "Big Boi" Patton has a ballet to debut. Come April 10, Atlanta's Fox Theatre will witness the pomp and Dirty South circumstance of Big.
Granted, there have been other great musical moments bearing that title before, but given a soundtrack that includes Outkast classics "The Way You Move" and "Bombs Over Baghdad," Patton has a solid chance to top them all. He'll take the stage for six shows only alongside the dancers of Purple Ribbon Entertainment and the Atlanta Ballet. Hopefully the man's been working on his pirouttes and plies. Those interested can snag tickets here.
Meanwhile, we're still waiting on the new jam that Big Boi promised us for the New Year in our last Outkast update. So far, the only fresh rhymes we have from the ATLien this year appear on a brief guest spot during Raheem DeVaughn's "Energy." You can stream the tune here. Is it worth waiting through most of the track just to hear Big Boi drop a bit of knowledge? Eh, sort of.
