New Outkast Album Rumored for 2012

Since 2006’s Idlewild, the Outkast name has been more or less out of commission, with Big Boi and André 3000 both working on their respective solo efforts.

According to HipHopWired.com, a “rock solid industry source” has said that the duo will release a new album early next year after they each release a solo album sometime this year.

Label disputes wouldn’t allow so much as a verse from André on Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. Outkast fans may finally get their fix, though they’ve been given false hope before.
