OUTKAST TO RELEASE SOUNDTRACK IN DECEMBER

Outkast will release their new album, Idlewild, on December 6th. The album is the soundtrack to the group’s forthcoming feature film of the same name. The lead single from the project is “Idlewild Blues.”

No release date has been set for film but Big Boi is sure that Outkast fans will love it. He told MTV.com, “The movie is dope. It’s like an Outkast album but on film, which will make the fans happy. It’s like two stories going at the same time. I’ve seen two rough cuts, and it’s outstanding. We’ve got Ving Rhames, Ben Vereen, Cicely Tyson, Terrence Howard, Patti LaBelle. We would show up every day suited and booted thanks to Mr. Giorgio Armani. Tailor-made to fit.”

In related news, Big Boi has pushed back the release date of his new compilation, The Purple Ribbon All-Stars. The album will now be released on November 22nd. The first single from the project is “Kryptonite,” featuring Killer Mike, C-Bone, and Rock.
