"While fighting through label limbo and placing his budding film career on freeze, Antwan 'Big Boi' Patton spent a couple years readying the artillery for his solo close-up. Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is both a testament to the maturation of Big Boi and a tribute to his late father; underneath, it's a speakeasy at breakneck speed, sittin' on 32s. Where many other formidable MCs would be eaten alive, Big Boi shapeshifts across every mood and landscape with his trademark tenacity. He's an effortless showboat who can portray sleaze with ease, but he's a true class act who's got nothing left to prove, yet will never let it show. Flanked by his known co-conspirators and many more, Big Boi blesses the senses the way only an East Point playboy can; it's an intergenerational time warp, and another funky ride in HD. The final product is a natural progression of his Organized Noize lineage, sent across dimensions to return with an assemblage of time-tested potent Black grooves, then pressure-cooked in the kitchen of the finest booty club in Georgia. First vinyl reissue of Big Boi's proper solo debut. Pressed on 2LP purple and silver galaxy vinyl." "A monster of an album... it takes an extra special sort of swagger to pull this off." --Sean Fennessey, SPIN (9/10)
