Big Boi announces ‘Bloodlines & Basslines’ podcast with his sons, Bamboo and Cross Patton

The podcast will cover hip-hop, sports and pop culture to relationships, fatherhood and generational differences.

Big Boi is back behind the microphone but this time, its not to record a new album. The rapper has announced a new podcast titled “Bloodlines and Basslines” with his sons Bamboo and Cross Patton. As detailed in a press release from iHeartMedia, the show, which premiered on Wednesday (Nov. 11), promises unfiltered conversations about family, music, fatherhood and legacy.

Recorded in Atlanta, “Bloodlines and Basslines,” brings the three unique perspectives of the veteran musician and his young adult sons. Cross is a 25-year-old former Division I football player now forging his own path in business and real estate, and Bamboo, 26, is himself a father and explores his creative passions and entrepreneurship. With the podcast, the trio explores what it means to grow up with a famous last name while establishing an identity of your own. Subjects will range from hip-hop, sports and pop culture to relationships, fatherhood and generational differences.

“Our listeners want to connect with the artists they love beyond the music, and ‘Bloodlines & Basslines’ offers that opportunity in a uniquely personal way,” explained Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts in a statement. “Big Boi and his sons bring a natural chemistry and humor that gives audiences an authentic look at their lives while introducing a new side of an artist they’ve followed for decades.”

“We’re talking about the things we love, the places we’ve been, the lessons we’ve learned, and where we’re headed next. Y’all know me from the music, but this is a chance to see another side of me, just being Dad and having real conversations with my boys. At the end of the day, the music is part of my legacy, but what I pass down to my sons means everything. Cross and Bamboo are the future, and I’m here to make sure they’re ready to carry that torch. And with iHeart’s reach, we get to bring these conversations to families and listeners all over the world.”

The first epsiode shares the Outkast rapper reflecting on becoming a father at just 19, balancing discipline with love, and why being called “Poppy” is one of his proudest titles.

New episodes are set to be released three times a week.
