For YN’s latest segment of “The Truth,” he weighs in on whether or not Andre 3000 will ever release another full album. Andre has been dodging an album since Outkast’s Idlewild back in 2006. Big Boi has been talking about a 3K album since 2010 when he was asked if we would hear new Outkast music. Recently it seemed after his verse on Tip’s “Sorry,” that Andre and Big Boi weren’t even really speaking then they both appeared on Frank Ocean’s “Pink Matter” and gave fans hope. That hope, sadly, was short lived when Andre straight out said that the music was not an Outkast project leaving many of us disappointed. For a while now, I have been thinking that we’ll never hear new music from Outkast and that Andre will not be releasing a new album, just a few verses here and there and it seems that YN has the same thought.
