♫ NEW MUSIC: BIG BOI – “RINGTONE”

Big Boi of OutKast fame follows up the first single, “Sumthin’s Gotta Give,” featuring Mary J. Blige with his second single, “Ringtone,” from his forthcoming solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. I first heard this song on the radio a couple of days ago, and thought it was a pretty good, radio-friendly track for him.

This is really the first we’ve heard from Big since the Idlewild soundtrack, aside from the buzz track he released last year entitled “Royal Flush,” that didn’t get as much attention as I thought it would. The new album is set to release sometime this year.

Check out Big Boi on MySpace and be on the look out for more info on the new album!
