Synopsis

Big Boi cruises along a rural Georgia road with a car full of children, turning the journey into an easygoing Southern road trip. Along the way, he picks up Cee-Lo before rescuing Andre 3000, who is working on a chain gang and makes a dramatic escape. Once reunited, the three artists continue down the road together, mixing performance shots with comic, cinematic scenes that give the video the feel of a playful outlaw adventure.

Factoids & Trivia

• "In Due Time" was released in 1997 as part of the soundtrack to the film "Soul Food," but the music video does not follow the movie's storyline.

• The track features Cee-Lo, who was part of Atlanta's Goodie Mob and a key figure in the same Dungeon Family circle that helped establish Outkast.

• The video turns Andre 3000's prison-chain-gang imagery into a visual extension of the song's themes of struggle, patience, and eventual escape.

• The song was issued as a standalone "In Due Time" EP in September 1997, alongside the Soul Food soundtrack release.

• The video has remained a notable early example of the Atlanta scene's close creative connections, bringing Outkast and Cee-Lo together before all three artists became much more widely known.
