Outkast may be reuniting for a host of tour dates this summer. But as for another album from the ATL-duo? Big Boi says we shouldn’t hold our collective breath.

“No, we’re just doing the tour only just for the fans,” Big Boi told REVOLT. “That’s all it is, a tour. I got a solo album I’m working on, but it’s just the OutKast 20-year anniversary, just a way for us to celebrate for our fans, but there is no album in the works.”

Big Boi says he is however working on releasing a new mixtape and a third solo LP.

“I’m working on (the album) right now, trying to get it ready for the end of the year…Definitely the mixtape is coming…We also got Common and Wale and more surprise artist on the mixtape…It’s a Game of Thrones mixtape. I’m just apart of it. It should be out in the next couple of weeks. Catch the Throne. That’s where it’s at.”

New Music: Big Grams (Big Boi x Phantogram) – “Fell in the Sun”

9 years ago view-show 523,512
Yesterday we shared the news that Big Boi of OutKast will be joining Phantogram, a duo he discovered via a pop-up ad. The trio, known simply as Big Grams, will be dropping an EP on September 25th via Epic. It'll feature Run the Jewels and Skrillex. And today they're sharing "Fell in the Sun," the first teaser from the project. It's a fine number; there's a funky backdrop with thick drums, and Big Boi rapping like Pimp C, kinda. The hook, sung by Sarah Barthel of Phantogram, is serviceable, but is ultimately missing a lil' something extra to put it over for a win. Overall, this is a decent first showing from Big Grams. But, we're all patiently waiting the arrival of the Run the Jewels cut, which should happen any day now. Peep "Fell in the Sun" after the jump.

Big Boi Announce Big Grams EP; Featuring Run the Jewels and Skrillex

Big Boi is teaming up with a group simply known as Phantogram, who Boi allegedly discovered on a pop-up ad. Interesting. The trio of Big Boi and Phantogram (Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel) is slated to release their debut project, an EP, entitled Big Grams. The track list is short, as expected with an EP, but it features two huge acts: Run the Jewels and Skrillex. Polarizing features, I know. But you'll be giving this a shot once it drops on September 25th via Epic. Check out the track listing after the jump, folks.
