Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is the debut studio album by American rapper Big Boi, released on July 5, 2010, by Purple Ribbon Records and Def Jam Recordings. It is his first solo album as a member of hip hop duo OutKast. Production for the album took place primarily at Stankonia Recording Studio in Atlanta during 2007 to 2010 and was handled by several record producers, including Organized Noize, Scott Storch, Salaam Remi, Mr. DJ, and André 3000, among others.
The album's development was impeded by a dispute between Big Boi and his former label, Jive Records, over creative and commercial differences. Rooted in Southern hip hop, Sir Lucious Left Foot has been noted by music writers for its bounce and bass-heavy sound, layered production, and assorted musical elements. Its lyrics deal with boasting, sex, social commentary, and club themes, featuring Big Boi's clever wordplay and versatile flow.
Following a heavily delayed release, the album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, selling 62,000 copies in its first week, and spent 13 weeks on the chart. It also charted internationally and produced two singles, including the UK top-40 hit "Shutterbugg". Sir Lucious Left Foot received rave reviews from music critics, who praised its varied sound and Big Boi's lyricism, and was included in numerous year-end top albums lists. Big Boi promoted the album with an international tour in 2010. As of September 2010, it has sold 175,000 copies in the United States.
