Stream: Big Boi's awesome new track - Shutterbug

 Dammmmnnnnn!!!!!  Outkast are one of the greatest bands/duo's/artists of the last decade (or two), but most of the acclaim is usually centred on Andre 3000.  Big Boi has always been the playa to Andre's poet, and their differing styles often result in a lack of recognition for the more rapcentric of the two.

If the world has any taste left, this should all change on Big's new (and oft-delayed) album 'Sir Luscious Leftfoot - son of Chico Dusty.  With a bunch of slamming tracks already having been released or leaked, such as 'For yo sorrows', 'Royal Flush' and the mind-blowing 'Shine Blocka's', this was already shaping up as a pretty solid album. 

Upon hearing 'Shutterbug', I immediately upgraded that rating to 'pretty awesome'.  The track finds Big Boi very comfortably tearing through some heavy cali funk, with some vintage talkbox thrown in for good measure.  If the album never comes out, I'll be happy in the knowledge that it didn't stop Big from unleashing some killer songs on us.
