André 3000 Teases New Solo Album
While Big Boi has delivered two solo albums in the time since OutKast went on hiatus, André 3000’s musical output has largely been one-off collaborations. But as MissInfo.tv reports, he may have a new album coming out next year. (He definitely has a movie in which he plays Jimi Hendrix.) Stephen Hill, the president of programming at BET, ran into André backstage at the Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz show in Washington, DC yesterday. He tweeted their exchange:
Me: hey what’s up? You got the movie coming, right? Andre 3000: yeah…and I got a solo album coming top of the year. Me:*droptofloor*
Though this is far from confirmed, official, or definite, a new André 3000 album would be his first solo endeavor since “The Love Below,” his half of the 2003 OutKast split LP.
