Georgia hip-hop legend and one-half of OutKast, Big Boi, has received the highest honor in his hometown of Savannah, Georgia as he was recently presented with the key to the city. 

This past weekend, the OutKast member headlined the For the Love of Hip-Hop Mega Concert at the new Enmarket Arena in Savannah, with fellow Georgia mainstays like Sleepy Brown, Ying Yang Twins, Big Gipp, and Goodie Mobb. 

At the event, Savannah Mayor Van Johnson honored the hometown hero by giving him the keys to the city ahead of his homecoming performance. 

On Tuesday (February 16), Johnson shared a post to Instagram of himself and Big Boi at the Enmarket Arena as he presented him with the key, captioning the post carrousel, "It was my pleasure to present the Key to the City to #Savannah's own @bigboi in honor of his legendary musical and philanthropic achievements and always representing the #912. Congratulations! #SavannahStrong"

Big Boi has cemented himself in hip-hop history as an integral part of Georgia’s hip-hop culture as one half of the iconic hip-hop duo, OutKast with Andre 3000. The duo has won 6 Grammy Awards together and sold over 25 million records throughout their monumental careers. 

Big Boi and Sleepy Brown dropped their collaboration album, The Big Sleepover, late last year, with the two ATL showcasing their incredible skill 30 years into their career.

Congratulations to Big Boi for this significant accomplishment as an artist and hip-hop icon. Stay tuned for more on this and other hip-hop news.
