Big Boi’s addition means Atlanta’s rich hip-hop legacy will be represented at this year’s event, taking place at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on February 3. Most people know this artist as member of American hip hop duo Outkast, alongside André 3000.

This year’s Super Bowl halftime show has been described as “music’s least-wanted gig” after several high-profile artists refused to perform out of solidarity with former NFL star Colin Kaepernick.

Many artists even urged Travis Scott to reject the offer after it was announced he’ll be taking part in this event. Scott stood his ground and agreed to perform under one condition – he asked NFL to make a joint donation to an organization fighting for social justice.

“I know being an artist that it’s in my power to inspire. So before confirming the Super Bowl Halftime performance, I made sure to partner with the NFL on this important donation. I am proud to support Dream Corps and the work they do that will hopefully inspire and promote change,” explained Scott.

Alongside the announcement, the 54-year-old musician also revealed a trailer for the record alongside one of the songs, “We Don’t Need You” featuring Vic Mensa.

“I’ve been devoted both musically and as an activist to fighting injustice at every turn,” said Morello in a statement. “Amid this heightened sense of impending doom, it’s now time to rally the troops in a last-ditch effort to save the planet, and our artistic souls. By challenging the boundaries of what music is and has sounded like before, you can open peoples’ eyes to changing the status quo in society.”
