Outkast Man Readies Solo Album

Speaking to Billboard, the rapper said: "I'm shooting to finish the album by the
end of August. This album is Big Boi to the extreme. It's like a recession
special. I'm talking about what's going on in the world, with everything from
rising gas prices to the election. It's just my insights on life up to this
point".
Although details of the album, including its release date, are still being kept
under wraps, it seems it will feature a formidable list of guests. The first
single, 'Royal Flush' was released in March and includes vocals from Big Boi's
Outkast partner Andre 3000 and Wu-Tang's Raekwon. Single number two, 'The World
Is Too Big', will feature Mary J. Blige.
Last month, a ballet collaboration between Big Boi and The Atlanta Ballet
debuted at the city's Georgia Fox Theatre. The rapper is now in talks with AEG
and Live Nation to take the show on an international tour. No word on how this
would affect the release of 'Sir Luscious Left Foot, Son Of Chico Dusty'.
