Big Boi and His Sons Launch New iHeartPodcasts Series "Bloodlines & Basslines"

The new podcast brings together the Grammy-winning OutKast legend and his sons, Bamboo and Cross Patton, for unfiltered conversations about family, music, fatherhood and legacy

ATLANTA - November 11, 2026 - iHeartPodcasts and hip-hop legend Big Boi announced today a new podcast, "Big Boi's Bloodlines & Basslines," premiering November 11, 2026. Joined by his sons, Bamboo and Cross Patton, the Atlanta-born icon trades the stage for candid family conversations, offering listeners a rare look at the man behind the music and the next generation building on his legacy.

Recorded in Atlanta, "Bloodlines & Basslines" brings three distinct perspectives to the table as Big Boi and his sons tackle everything from hip-hop, sports and pop culture to relationships, fatherhood and generational differences. With three 10-minute episodes each week, the series blends humor, honest disagreements and personal stories, offering listeners a candid look at the family behind one of hip-hop's most recognizable names.

"This podcast is me and my two sons chopping it up about life, family and everything in between," said Big Boi. "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."

While Big Boi brings more than three decades of experience shaping hip-hop culture, his sons offer perspectives of their own. Cross, a former Division I football player at the University of Oregon and University of Nevada, Reno, is forging his path in business and real estate. Bamboo, a father, creative and entrepreneur, brings his passion for storytelling, family and building a legacy beyond his father's musical achievements. Together, the trio explores what it means to grow up with a famous last name while establishing an identity of your own.

"Our listeners want to connect with the artists they love beyond the music, and 'Bloodlines & Basslines' offers that opportunity in a uniquely personal way," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. "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."

The premiere episode, "Bloodlines & Baselines" will take listeners inside the Patton household as the family revisits childhood rules, sibling rivalries and the differences between raising children then and now. Big Boi will reflect on becoming a father at just 19, balancing discipline with love, and why being called "Poppy" is one of his proudest titles. The family will also revisit some unforgettable stories, including a $10,000 phone bill that nearly got Big Boi and his brother kicked out of baseball legend Hank Aaron's pool house.

"Big Boi's Bloodlines & Basslines" will premiere Wednesday, November 11, with new episodes released three times a week on the iHeartRadio app and wherever podcasts are heard. The series is published by iHeartPodcasts.
