Big Boi: “Two Solo Albums, Outkast Album Coming”

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      Big Boi is currently making big moves. He’s out promoting his new film, “Who’s Your Caddy,” which opens on Friday and he also hosted his Big Kidz Foundations second annual fundraiser last night. He’s raising funds to help build state-of-the-art playgrounds in under-served communities around at Atlanta.

      “I just want to build places where parents can spend more time with their kids,” Big Boi told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Really nice playgrounds with wireless services and libraries and everything; where everybody can get something out of it. There isn’t a lot of things mom and dad and the kids want to go to.”

      He also mentioned music plans for the next year. Despite not seeing much success with the “Idlewild” soundtrack and Andre 3000’s “Class of 3000” soundtrack being ignored, the duo isn’t retiring anytime soon.

      “There are some big things about to happen with OutKast,” Big Boi said. “Dre’s been in the studio rapping like crazy, laying some of the most incredible ish I’ve heard him put down — ever. I’ve got my solo album down to like 15 songs. … So with our solo albums and a new OutKast album, and one other cat I can’t let out of the bag just yet, it’s about to be ridiculous!”
