With the behind-the-lens talent of legendary photographer Zack Wolfe, who’s list of hip hop credits include Lil Wayne, Prose, TI and Gorilla Zoe, Big Boi is in good hands for the upcoming AKOO campaign. It which features Big Boi in classic black and white images, decked out in T.I.’s label which stands for “A King of Oneself”.

AKOO, which launched September 2008, is the creation of T.I. and Grand Hustle Entertainment. This ad campaign was shot in Big Boi’s hometown of Atlanta, GA with on-set cameos of TI alongside producers Jim Jonsin and Drumma Boi.

Look out for singer/ songwriters and fellow Grand Hustle label artists Sean Garrett and The Dream, who will also be seen in upcoming campaign ads. There are some big names attached to the launch of this line…hopefully all expectations will be met and who knows, maybe a womenswear will be in the works. You know Tip will not neglect the ladies for long!

On how his children are going to deal with his time in prison: “My oldest is 12—she understands. She’s strong and smart. The three weeks I was in, before I got to come home, she said to me, ‘Don’t worry. I’ll hold things down ’til you get back.’ I’m more worried about how my boys are going to deal.”

On what it would take for him to be conceited like Kanye West: “Selling a billion. At about a billion, I think I’d be pretty hard to deal with.”

On winning awards: “No disrespect to Kanye, but that kinda stuff just don’t mean nothing to me. Whether or not I win an award, I mean that’s nice, but at the end of the day I understand that I’m a man. What being a man means to me is not defined by an award or an amount of records sold.”
