Andre 3000 Says No New Outkast Album In The Future [Article]

Spotted:GQ

Well that sucks, but i guess it's bound to happen. 3000 tells us what to expect and what not to expect in the future.

GQ: You're a spokesman for Gillette now. How did that partnership come together?

 Andre 3000: Gillette is getting into a space where guys are now, where guys are wearing more hair on their faces. If you watch the history of Gillette, they pretty much stayed on the path of the clean-shaven guy. This is the first time in their history, in like 110 years, that they've ever had guys in ads with hair on their faces. It's a changing of the times and it says a lot about Gillette; they're kind of moving with fashion.

GQ: A new 'Kast album!

Andre 3000: There's been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album. There's a lot of music on the horizon. I've been living off the excitement of new artists. I've been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, "Hey, Andre, we want you on this song." So I've been taking those calls and for the last two years, I've been doing collaborations. So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I've just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I'm planning to do a solo project. I don't know when it will come out, but hopefully it'll come out this year. As far as OutKast, I really don't know if or when that will happen.

Hodgy Beats - Untitled EP [FreEP]

Okay, so I know there's an automatic way most heads will feel about someone from Odd Future, even though I'm a fan and Hodgy is my favorite from the group. You really don't need to like Odd Future to like Hodgy. On his solo projects like this, Hodgy does his own thing. For this project most of the production is handled by The Alchemist and also features production from Flying Lotus, Juicy J and Theolonius Martin. This EP is the perfect example of why Hodgy stands out for me in Odd Future, he leaves the typical subject matter the group is known for and drops some really dope tracks like If Heaven Is A Ghetto, In A Dream and Higashi Loves You. All I'm saying, is give it a chance. Hit the jump for the tracklist and download.
