August 24th, 2010 – One half of Grammy Award winning Diamond selling hip-hop duo Outkast, Big Boi, sets dates for the Son Of Chico Dusty U.S nationwide tour in support of his critically acclaimed debut album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Starting August 26th Atlanta,  Big Boi(Antwan Patton)  will be performing hits from his debut solo album along with Outkast classics in select cities across the US (see dates below).

Recently headlining Pitchfork Festival act, Big Boi also performed with HP & Myspace Music stopping in Miami (Aug.18th) for the most viewed hip-hop show in Ustream history. Drawing in 1.5 million total streams during the live show and the rebroadcast running immediately following, the show ranks as the #3 most viewed music performance ever on Ustream, only behind Kiss (2 million in Nov. 2009) and Bon Jovi (1.5 million in March 2010).  In total, the live stream and immediate rebroadcast garnered 2.6 million tune-ins in 30 hours.

Recently, Big headlined the Pitchfork Music Festival and will be making more festival appearances during the tour at Epicenter, MoogFest, and TCT9. His energetic live shows have been winning over crowds while his first official album separate from the diamond-selling duo Outkast has been earning excellent reviews from The New Yorker, Time, Pitchfork, RollingStone, and New York Magazine among others.  Spin Magazine declares, “Funk is the game and Antwan ‘Big Boi’ Patton isn’t playing… Sir Lucious Left Foot is a monster of an album.”  Also, Big collaborated with Converse to create a limited edition pair of sneakers paying tribute to his debut album.

PR: Just-Ice, The Original Gangster of Rap Returns


From Todd Davis:

The Original Gangster of Hip-Hop Returns!

"My name is Just-Ice a man not a prankster, I was known...As the gangster; But believe me that is no fun, The time is now to unite everyone. You don't have to be soft to be for peace, Robbin' and killin'and murderin' is the least, You don't have to be chained by the beast; But party people it's time I release!" -- "Self-Destruction" (The Stop The Violence Movement)

August 24th 2010 -- Veteran East Coast rapper, Joseph "Just-Ice" Williams, Jr., is definitely a legend in his own right. Having first exploded onto the Hip-Hop scene, with his Kurtis Mantronik helmed solo debut, Back to the Old School, way back in 1986, the tatted up, muscle bound emcee, with his mouth full of gold fronts, literally put the rap game in a choke-hold.

Born and bred in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Just-Ice, who started out as a menacing club bouncer, is one of the earliest pioneers of the art form to actually embrace hardcore lyricism. His initial lead offering, "Latoya" b/w the ultra raunchy "That Girl is a Slut," landed the, then, aspiring recording artist a lucrative contract with, the now defunct, Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records. Back to the Old School also provided him his biggest hit-to-date, the classic, "Cold Gettin' Dumb."

On his next two solo outings; 1987's Kool & Deadly (Justicizms) and The Desolate One in '89, Ice teamed up with The Blastmaster himself, KRS-One, and the results were astounding. For his fourth and final effort on Sleeping Bag, the appropriately titled, Masterpiece, Just-Ice aligned himself with the legendary Grandmaster Flash.

Albums number five, six and seven, Gun Talk , Kill the Rhythm (Like a Homicide) and VII, bowed in 1993, '95 and 1998, respectively, and since the late nineties, with the exception of a couple of digital download only projects that, unfortunately, flew way too far under the radar, Just-Ice has basically remained completely absent from the industry. That is, of course, until now!

The always controversial Just-Ice and longtime collaborator, KRS-One, have finally reunited, writing and recording a highly impressive brand new five-track EP, simply called, The Just-Ice & KRS-ONE EP Volume #1. In addition, the duo recently shot a video clip for the super-infectious "Blah, Blah, Blah."

Just-Ice is currently available for: Interviews, Show Bookings, Voice-overs, Songwriting, Features & Hooks, DJ Show Commercials, Event Hosting, Radio/TV Hosting, Acting & Commercials, and Public Speaking.
