Big Boi collects memories for Thom Pettie video

The Outkast graduate serves some new visuals for his Killer Mike and Little Dragon track.

It "s certainly been an interesting ride in the solo career of Outkast "s Big Boi. The ATLien has dabbled in pimptastic funky rhythms while currently experimenting with breaking down the fourth wall of hip-hop and allowing indie synth-rock to fully penetrate the genre. It was evident throughout his latest album "Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors," a project that had his new muse Phantogram "s stamp all over it as well as buzz band Little Dragon. Big Boi unveils the video for "Thom Pettie" today featuring the aforementioned Little Dragon and longtime pal Killer Mike.

The video is really a series of concert footage and random hangouts jumbled into one video to the tune of the Vicious" track. Big Boi has performed for rock crowds, rap crowds, and everyone in between, proving the progression into the abstract has been both fruitful and necessary for him since parting ways with his eccentric counterpart Andre 3000. As Big Boi plans to release a complete project with Phantogram titled "Big Grams," we can expect to see more of this melding of genres from Sir Lucious Leftfoot. Until then, check out the video for "Thom Pettie":
