.BigBoi has teamed up with AirBnb to give fans the opportunity of a lifetime.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Outkast’s classic sophomore album, the hitmaker has purchased “The Dungeon” house, where the dynamic duo first got their start in music. The now iconic dungeon is the birthplace of such Outkast fan favorites as “Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik,” “Spottieottiedopaliscious” and “Elevators.”. “I wanted to make it a national monument.
For the six-time Grammy Award winner, “Every time I step in the door, it gives me chills because that’s where we started, from videos like [1993's] ‘Player’s Ball.’ We used to sleep on the floor in sleeping bags. Going from there to where I am now is a blessing, and to be able to own the real estate and the property and preserve it for the whole family has just been a dream come true.”
And after the year-long pandemic, Big Boi is thrilled to get back on tour. He especially misses enjoying time on the tour bus. “It’s like having three-week field trips with your partners, and the creative juices are flowing.” After all, Big Boi’s tour bus is complete with a recording studio, lots of snacks and movies -- and of course “some of the best cannabis that the United States has to offer, where it’s legal.
The Georgian vividly remembers the day of the music video shoot and jokes, “It was like 150 degrees in Atlanta when we shot that video, so we were sweating our hair out. That was when everybody had long hair. We were looking real greasy -- like chicken greasy.”
