Written by DJ Cisco

Outkast's Big Boi has just turned in his new solo album, "Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty." He tells Billboard.com it will be the first of a batch of new music from the Atlanta duo. "This is all in the next year or so," Big Boi says, "starting with my album coming at the top of the year, Dre 3000 right after me...and when the solo albums come out, depending on how the fans support them, then we're gonna give them the Outkast album." Big Boi did not predict whether Outkast will perform as a group in 2010, but he is touring in support of the album. The rapper has leaked several tracks: Royal Flush," which features Andre 3000 and Raekwon; "Sumthin's Gotta Give" with Mary J. Blige; "Dubbz"; "Fo Yo Sorrows" with George Clinton and Too $hort; and most recently, "Shine Blockas" with Gucci Mane, to garner support for the new album. "It's almost like giving them a little sampler from the album and showing how diverse it is," "Every song that I put out sounds totally different from the previous songs I put out. I slow-cooked this album and, man, I'm just so happy it's about to come out. I cannot wait to give it to the fans," explains Big Boi. "There have been a lot of stops and starts with this project. I've just been trying to make sure we've got the right avenues and the right brains and mindsets together to get the marketing and promoting behind it. When you work on something for, like, two years and 11 months, it's like your baby. You want to make sure that everybody has taken the project the way they're supposed to be taking it and the set-up is right," says Big Boi on the projects numerous delays No release date has been set for "Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty" but it is expected to be released around the summer of 2010.
