The new issue of the FADER magazine focuses on Purple Ribbon mastermind Big Boi and his protege Killer Mike.

With Andre 3000 concentrating on his acting (Four Brothers/Be Cool), Big Boi seems more intent on concentrating on his music and the biness side of the industry.

The ATLiens have been grinding in the lab and FADER 32’s cover feature has the lowdown on Big Boi as he speaks on the next Outkast album, the NEXT next Outkast album, and what’s really going on between him and Andre 3000 and his new label, Purple Ribbon Records.
