Charlamagne, one of the show's hosts, also added to the excitement by describing an unreleased song featuring André as “one of the greatest hip-hop records” he has ever heard.
André 3000, known for his exceptional talent and contributions to the rap industry, has never released a solo album throughout his illustrious career. His last studio album was as part of Outkast, with the release of “Idlewild” in 2006.
If André follows through with this project, it will mark his debut solo album, much to the delight of fans worldwide. Although he has made occasional appearances on other artists' tracks, such as Kanye West's “Life of the Party” from the album “Donda,” André's solo work has been highly anticipated for years.
Killer Mike, a close associate of André 3000 and a prominent figure in Atlanta's hip-hop scene, also revealed that the two artists have collaborated on a track that features André rapping for an impressive seven minutes.
