Now being scheduled for release around Memorial Day, the other half of the album is, of course, Big Boi's solo opus. If you're one of those Outkast fans who've been scratching their heads, questioning why you haven't seen Dre at most of the group's public appearances of late, it's because he's been in the studio trying to uphold his side of the bargain.Īndre 3000 is only about 80 percent done with his solo album, which is going to be included in the ATL's duo's double LP, Outkast Present … Big Boi and Dre. "It's gonna be lots of ladies, lots of athletes, lots of sex, drugs, rap and roll," Mike said. Killer Mike, who appeared on Oukast's "The Whole World" single, is joined by Big Boi on "A.D.I.D.A.S." A video will be shot next month in Atlanta during the NBA All-Star Weekend. The first single, "Action," is at radio and video outlets now and will be followed by "A.D.I.D.A.S.," which, like's Korn's song of the same name, is an acronym for "All Day I Dream About Sex." Meanwhile, Outkast will appear on several tracks on Killer Mike's debut, Monster, due March 11. "We still have like four albums of material that we're going to put out later in the year," Big Boi promised. "We're trying to make love to your earlobe through the speaker."īig Boi and Dre recorded more than 40 tracks apiece, but each disc will be narrowed down to 14 tunes. "We're taking it back to the essence of just beats, rhymes and straight funk," he said.
OUTKAST ALBUM COVER WITH THE GIRL BOOTY MOVIE
While Dre's Love Hater will be somewhat of a concept album about relationships and will tie into a movie he plans to star in of the same name, Big Boi's Speakerbox will be more of a straight-up ode to classic hip-hop. "The Dungeon Family is there, we also got Jay-Z, Bubba Sparxxx, Killer Mike, Bun B. "It's just like any other Outkast album - we use extra spices and preservatives where we need them," Big Boi said. The rappers will appear on each other's albums, along with a carnival of collaborators, including Jay-Z and Killer Mike on Big Boi's "Flip Flop Rock." Big Boi's first single is called "Church," while Dre's will be "Prototype." "We both produce and we both do every little part of the music, so when you at home in your own kitchen or at Stankonia, you're working at different vibes," Big Boi explained of the project, which he emphasized "has never been done before." "From a production standpoint, you get more done in a shorter amount of time."īoth discs will be treated like solo releases with separate singles and videos dropping simultaneously.
"It's like two-for-one lap dance day at your local gentleman's club," the titanic rapper said backstage at Monday's American Music Awards.ĭue in late May, Speakerbox/Love Hater is a double album with disc one being a solo release from Big Boi and disc two a solo effort from Andre 3000. Outkast's latest protégé, Killer Mike, explained the hip-hop duo's upcoming project best.
