| Antwan "Big Boi" Patton,Founder, CEO- An American rapper, song-writer, record producer, and one half of the Grammy Award winning hip hop duo Outkast. Big Boi was born and spent the first half of his childhood in Savannah, attending School before moving to Atlanta with his Aunt Renee to pursue his interest in music at Tri-Cities High School, a Visual and Performing Arts Magnet School. He had a strong interest in hip hop music, and met André "3000" Benjamin while attending Tri Cities High School in the early-1990s. The two eventually joined forces as Outkast and signed with LaFace Records. He can be identified by his rapid-fire delivery, a style which has become more distinct since the album ATLiens. Patton has often used his lyrics to criticize the problems that plague both the African American community and the world. With over 10,000,000 in records sold (RIAA), makes Big Boi/Outkast the largest selling rap group in history. | |
