OutKast’s Andre 3000 has officially revealed plans to release his upcoming solo debut by as early as this year.
According to Rolling Stone, the ATLien will be returning to store shelves with his first album without group member Big Boi. Rather than giving an exact date, Andre hinted at when he expects to release the currently untitled project.
“It should be dropping by the end of this year or early next year,” he told Rolling Stone. “I’ve pretty much been working by myself.”
Despite adding lyricism and popularizing singles from artists like John Legend, Fonzworth Bentley, Rich Boy, DJ Unk and UGK, Andre has decided to cut down his guest appearances for his own album.
“I’ve never really been that big on collaboration," he said. "I have a concept, and all the soundscapes are already in my head, so I just have to figure out how to get there. I’ve learned that I’m most powerful when I’m doing my art.”
Aside from hip-hop, Andre makes his return to the big screen in tomorrow’s debut film, Battle In Seattle. Co-starring Woody Harrelson, the film has the rapper-turned-actor playing an activist during 1999’s World Trade Organization summit.

Its about that time for me to give "it" that extra little push. I'm a firm believer in the "word of mouth" type of promotion, but recently i've been realizing that a lot of people are more impulsive than others,, sooooo.... i've decided to give them a few little advertisementsand such: Plus this will be a fun little way to expose my friends and I in what we do. ...Blah, blah, blah- But just look forward (very soon) for different posts here and there on MySpace, Facebook, and other different social sites..........enjoy!!
BOB TYRRELL... is definitely one of the best when it the "black and grey" style of tattooing. He's one of those guys i started payin attention to early in my "Career." Check him out at .. http://bobtyrrell.com
MISTER CARTOON- I started out in Mister Cartoon's footsteps since he was also a graffiti artist in the past. He has some of the sickest lettering in the game: also he's also top ranking in the Black and Grey style... check him out at.. http://mistercartoon.com
KIM SAIGHandHANNAH ATCHISON-... These woman are 2 of the best in my eyes, i absolutely adore they're styles ( i can use words like "adore" since they are females :-))... I love Kim's floral style of tattooing and i love Hannah's style of Pin-up girls, since she uses vibrant colors. Check them out at .. highvoltagetattoo.com/artist.html
NIKKO HURTADO.... He is, hands down, the best artist i've seen that does full color portraits. I've only known about him for a short amount of time, but i am always very impressed. Check him out out... http://ignitiontattoo.com
Tre' or III...(im not gonna expose his govt. name, lol)---- This is the first real tattoo artist that got me on my feet. New Orleans born and raised, Tre has been tattooin since like the age of 15 or 16. He first studied under Jacci Gresham (google her) way back in the G. I worked in Tre's shop for a while up until mid 2005 (Katrina) in which we all relocated. Check him out at... http://www.myspace.com/itchin4inktre
All these folks were direct influences to me...Check everybody out and let me kno what u think...
This song by T.I. is really inspirational. It basically runs down everything that has been happening in his life over the past few months. Produced by uprising superproducer "Danja-Handz," this song is another breath of fresh air in the recovering state of hip-hop. We gettin it back.
The latest installment to my "Little Weapon" series....i have a few in every male size- the girl sizes should be done by the weekend... black shirts will also be available by the weekend.
... what I mean is, i aim to be the rawest form of being fly. I dont try too hard or go overboard, i just try to pass on a natural, God-given talent thru fashion. Also- what I mean is, i just wanna bring back the true essence of the "streetwear" scene instead of watered-down, commercial clothing thats out now. There is a lot of good shit out there, i wanna add to that to keep a good movement moving....
so, now that u know what I mean- I have one question for you, Whachumeen?
