SO FRESH, SO CLEAN!

Close friend Bubba Sparxxx reveals what his buddies have got planned next...

OUTKAST
are to release a pure rap album, according to close ally of the band.

Just a day after Andre 3000 moved to crush speculation
that the band’s current album ‘Speakerboxx/The Love Below’
would be their last, long-time associate Bubba Sparxxx has
revealed the musical direction of the new album.

"I’ve heard that they are going to do a completely rap album after this –
just rap, no singing," he told NME.COM. "Sleepy
Brown’s new single ‘I Can’t Wait’ has
Andre rapping on it for the first time in a few years, so
maybe he’s got the taste again."

Southern rapper Sparxxx was a huge fan of the duo and
growing up. He is now part of the OutKast -inspired
The Dungeon Family hip-hop collective. He also joined
OutKast
Big Boi onstage for a show in
London earlier this week (March 1).
