André 3000 Discusses the Possibility of New OutKast Music and His Current Musical Journey

André 3000, one half of the legendary hip-hop duo OutKast, has recently spoken out about the possibility of new music from the group, expressing his own desire for an additional OutKast album. The artist shared these sentiments during a candid interview, where he also delved into his current musical explorations, including his debut solo project 'New Blue Sun'. Unlike his past work, this 87-minute record features André 3000 playing experimental flute music without any rapping.

OutKast Reunion Uncertain

While discussing his musical direction, André 3000 revealed that despite a close relationship with OutKast partner Big Boi, there have been no conversations about reuniting for new music. He acknowledged Big Boi's understanding of what truly inspires him and what he gets excited about, indicating that this might be the reason why a reunion was never pushed by either of them.

Personal Desires and Solo Career

André 3000 didn't shy away from discussing his personal interest in embarking on a solo rap endeavor, stating that it's a challenge that he finds intriguing for himself rather than for an audience. The rapper also shared some insights into his views on rapping at his age, noting the authenticity he seeks in his work and the challenges of finding relevance in his lyrics as he matures.

Looking Ahead

The artist expressed a focus on moving forward and a preference for not dwelling on the past. OutKast has been on hiatus since their last studio album 'Idlewild' in 2006 and a reunion tour back in 2014, following a mixed reception to their Coachella headlining performance. He also touched upon receiving advice from the late icon Prince about that Coachella show. As André 3000 looks to his future in music, fans are left to wonder if new OutKast music might be part of it.
