Big Boi Covers Ozone

Sir Lucious takes the cover of the latest issue of Ozone. In an excerpt below, Antwan discusses the different variety of features on his upcoming album.

You have a wide range of features on the album, everyone from Lil Jon to Jamie Foxx. But none of them necessarily stole the show with their appearances. How did you get all of these big personalities to contribute to your sound and vision?
Everything has to be organically done. I did a song call “Night Night” and B.o.B was recording down the hall, so he got on it and smashed it. I had one song that I wanted Prince on, but I couldn’t get him. Then I wanted Beyonce and Rihanna, after that didn’t happen I was like, “Fuck it.” Then I saw Jamie Foxx in L.A. and we knocked it out.

Rick Ross tells 1515, that he hopes to have MC Hammer featured in the track’s video and also sheds some light on the Spike Lee photo that he tweeted last week.

“What I actually tweeted — and you should actually follow me @rickyrozay — when I was in Hawaii, me and Kanye did a different kind of record and it may take a different kind of director. It was me, up in the middle of the night reflecting. It was an actual picture [from when] Spike came out to my birthday. I had a private get-together in Miami. Spike came out, we discussed a few things. It’s one of those things [that] I call ‘speaking it into existence.’ I feel once I put something in my mind, I can accomplish it.
