Here comes quite an interesting rendition on Big Boi's hit single "Shutterbug" by Unlimited Gravity. Known for blending genres like glitch hop, crunk and dubstep, the upcoming beatsmith offers a sophisticated mix of high-energy lazer-bass sounds and distinct hyphy Colorado bass. Definitely worth checking out.

It is known that Big Boi does not shy away from collaborations outside the hip-hop genre. The OutKast rapper revealed through Twitter last night that he is currently working Swedish indie-pop quartet Little Dragon on the followup of his 2010 LP Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty

"just cut 2 MONSTER Jams with @LittleDragon for the New Daddy Fat Saxxx LP #weoutchea. We are live in Stankonia studios... I wish I could let this bitch out tonight, but y'all have to wait. Daddy Fat Saxxx: Soul Funk Crusader, coming soon! We just made history." Here's hoping for minimal delays on this release."

In addition, he forwarded a short clip to his followers that can be viewed above.

According to TMZ, Big Boi was arrested yesterday in Miami for three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. The controlled substances were identified as ecstasy pills, MDMA powder and Viagra.

Law enforcement sources state that the rapper was busted by customs and border patrol dogs as he was exiting a cruise ship. The ATLien did not have a prescription for the Viagra.

Big Boi's attorney Daniel Kane has addressed the situation via CNN stating that the rapper was traveling with friends when he got busted.

"A small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage. I am confident when the entire facts are aired Big Boi will be completely exonerated."

Big Boi was held on $16,000 bond, but later released. He tweeted, "Fresh Out Baby!"

Big Boi, Organized Noize and the rest of the Dungeon Family show their respect for late British soul icon Amy Winehouse. The collective sends out this previously unreleased remix of “Tears Dry on Their Own” off of her sophomore album Back to Black. Sublime as they come, so listen below!

Great news from Big Boi today. In an interview with Junior, the ATLien revealed that he is busy working on the follow-up to his Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty opus. According to the man himself, 17 tracks have already been finished. Tentatively titled Daddy Fat Sax: Soul Funk Crusader, the album is set to contain some trademark Big Boi funk.

"It's going to be S-A-X-X-X triple unadulterated funk to the extremest level. Straight lyrical assassin, and the beats are going to be as hard hitting as always. I'mma let everything else be a surprise, and just let it speak for itself."

This coincides with the recent news that a new album by OutKast and solo LPs by both members are on their way. Stay tuned!

In celebration of Crown Royal Black's partnership with Big Boi, cameras went behind the scenes to document Big Boi in compelling moments of his life and career that showcase his definition of "The Crown Life." The short film lets audiences into Big Boi's life as he performed during the 2011 Grammy Awards weekend; inside his studio, Stankonia, as he prepares for his latest projects; and an evening out on the town in his hometown of Atlanta with stops at his favorite spots to unwind. The film is directed by Hudson Dusters for Greenpoint Pictures.

"The Crown Life" is a multi-layered campaign created to mark and celebrate life's crowning moments. On the heels of the launch of new variant, Crown Royal Black whisky, Crown Royal has gathered influential designers, filmmakers, and legendary producer and artist Big Boi to release exclusive, limited-edition products and content. All artists and designers have been tasked to use their craft to create something that celebrates what "The Crown Life" means to them -- finding royalty in everyday experiences.

Interesting news from Big Boi arrive to us today as the OutKast rapper announced that he and his 16-year-old daughter, Jordan, have launched a record label named Purple Kidz. In a conversation with Billboard, he unveiled that the imprint will boast a roster of younger artists that will attract listeners of all ages. Father and daughter will function as sole partners.

"My daughter just turned 16 years old, and you can see it on MTV's ['My Super Sweet Sixteen'], where they get cars, and things that depreciate and just don't mean nothing. I wanted to give my child something that she can grow and build and nurture. So I gave her her own label."

The label's first signee is Gabbie Rae, a 12-year-old singer who has appeared on The Tyra Banks Show. What are your thoughts on this?
