In a new interview, Andre 3000, one half of hip-hop duo OutKast, says that there is no new music from him and Big Boi in the works.
"There's been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album," the rapper tells GQ. The duo's last proper album was 2006's "Idlewild," and while Big Boi released a solo album, "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty," in 2010, Andre 3000 has spent the downtime lending guest verses to artists like Ke$ha, Drake and B.o.B.
"As far as OutKast, I really don't know if or when that will happen."
Andre 3000 and Big Boi may sign a new record deal at Sony's Epic Records under new chairman LA Reid.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reid, who took over as Epic chairman in July also joins Simon Cowell as a judge on Fox's upcoming show "The X Factor", is trying to recruit Outkast in an attempt to remake the once great label.
Outkast and Reid have a long history together, as the veteran record executive signed the legendary duo to their first deal in 1994 while running Laface Records. Reid is reportedly also eying Ciara, another Atlanta-native and LaFace alumn, for an Epic deal. The R&B star recently had a messy working relationship with her former label, Jive.
