The pair performed on the late-night show along with some help from their frequent collaborators, Killer Mike and Big Rube, who joined the party toward the end of the track. For the appearance, the duo rocked matching “‘Kast” sweatshirts that read, “Atlanta” down the sleeves, representing the city that raised them. Their song, “We The Ones,” originally appeared on the 2017 Organized Noize EP, but just received this special remix back in October.
“We the Ones” was also featured on the second edition of the Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy compilation. “In a time of so much despair we wanted to give the people a little light to live to,” Big Boi said of the remix in a statement.
Earlier this year, Big Boi and Sleepy Brown shared a collaborative track called, “Can’t Sleep.” The song is supposedly set to appear on the duo’s highly-anticipated and long-teased collaborative LP, The Big Sleepover.
Check out this brand new performance of “We The Ones” with Big Boi, Sleepy Brown, Killer Mike, and Big Rube all in attendance.
In other Big Boi news, last week the Outkast rapper showed up to give back to Atlanta poll workers braving the pandemic to help millions of Americans cast their ballots. He teamed up with Postmates and World Central Kitchen to help serve over 150 hot meals. The food looked good two. The megastar had everything from shrimp, chicken, and even tacos on the menu for the hard workers at the poll sites.
We LOVE to see it.

DJ Khaled’s Top 5 Rappers List Causes Controversy After Leaving Out Drake
DJ Khaled sparked conversation amongst hip hop fans when he excluded Drake from a recent list of his favorite rappers. Given the pair’s increasingly weakened relationship, it was bound to be a talking point.
Khaled was in view of fans over the weekend, and they asked him on camera to name his top five rappers. Khaled didn’t name Drake, who would have been his first choice in the past , instead he named Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross.
The list actually had six artists, not five, but Drake’s absence was the main talking point.
The situation gets more interesting because Khaled and Drake reportedly haven’t been on the best of terms in recent years. Khaled was once going to have two Drake features on an album that was supposed to drop a couple of years ago. But comments made during the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef contributed to the icy relationship between Khaled and Drake.
Drake later made a pointed comment suggesting he won’t appear on Khaled’s upcoming album. Khaled has not publicly responded, and two years later the project still hasn’t materialized.
But there is an alternative explanation. Khaled may have just been listing six artists he thinks are some of his favorite rappers. The moment itself doesn’t confirm that anything on the list was meant as a message to Drake. But reactions on social media suggest many fans are reading more into the omission. Given Khaled’s previous connection to Drake and the long history of his delayed album, the rapper’s absence has understandably become a major topic of discussion.
It’s unclear if Khaled and Drake will ever get past their differences. Drake’s relationships with the artists from the 2024 battle also remain a topic of conversation, with Future allegedly the only artist from that feud he seems to be on good terms with again. For Khaled, the bigger question might be when his long-delayed album will finally drop. For now, his surprise top-rappers list has given fans another reason to think about their relationship with Drake.
