"Royal Flush" is the debut solo single by American rapper and OutKast member Big Boi. The track was released on March 24, 2008 [2] and it features fellow OutKast member André 3000 as well as Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon. It was the first time the three rappers collaborated with each other in 10 years since "Skew It on the Bar-B" off of OutKast's third album Aquemini in 1998. The song was intended to be included as part of Big Boi's debut solo album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, but was removed from it, due to legal complications from Big Boi resigning from Jive Records.
This song contains sampled elements from the song " Voyage to Atlantis" by the Isley Brothers between each verse. Big Boi refers to this when at the end of his verse he says, "take a voyage to Atlantis".
The song was nominated for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 51st Grammy Awards.
