“[The album title] just came from a combination of Big Boi and Sleepy Brown,” they told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe recently. “It’s a double meaning. Big sleepover, we here to wake people up. The big sleep is over. You know what I’m saying? It’s not just about a slumber party. It’s about awareness and the evolution of the funk.”
The release of the album comes a month on from Big Boi revealing that he and Kate Bush have recorded a song together.
