Andre 3000 is set to turn the volume up on his eclectic sound with the release of his long-awaited debut solo album.

Full story below…

17 years after OutKast explored individual ventures, the Hip-Hop force will unlock the LP ‘New Blue Sun.’

And, following such a lengthy wait, fans won’t have to brace for too long because the set is due to be released this Friday (November 17).

There is a unique twist, though.

The project, which is co-produced by Carlos Niño, is entirely instrumental and centers on the MC playing the flute.

Speaking on the album, Andre 3000 said:

“I’ve been interested in winds for a long time, so it was just a natural progression for me to go into flutes,” André says. “I just like messing with instruments and I gravitated mostly toward wind.”

Peep the tracks that make up the project:
