For the time being, Outkast's trial separation continues. Big Boi recently spoke to Vibe magazine about his upcoming solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot. Produced by longtime Outkast collaborators Organized Noize, Big Boi says the album should feature 12 tracks.
"Speakerboxxx was my first solo album, so just imagine what this is going to sound like," Big Boi said. "I'm very excited about it, and we just putting it together right now. I plan on releasing a single on December 31 at midnight going into the New Year, cause I want all the stuff to be '08, everything to be brand new. It's going to be a lot of surprises."
Boi also mentioned that he and Outkast cohort Andre 3000 won't be packaging their solo projects together this time, as they did on 2003's Grammy-winning Speakerboxxx/Love Below collection. Good news for Outkast fans, though: once the upcoming solo projects are in the can, there should be a new joint project from the ATLiens. Hopefully they can work on some stuff in the same room this time.
