Andre 3000 has released two pieces of music to honour his parents – both of which have passed away. These represent the first solo music released from the Outkast rapper for a long while.
Though Andre has featured on a number of albums for artists like Kanye West, Frank Ocean and A Tribe Called Quest recently , ‘Look Ma No Hands’ and ‘Me&My (To Bury Your Parents)’ are the first recorded tracks from the artist for years. The two track single has been released today (May 13) to celebrate Mother’s Day in the US.
These tracks are not in anyway related to Outkast in style nor theme. ‘Me&My (To Bury Your Parents)’ consists of a sole piano and Andre’s voice singing about his relationship with his parents. ‘Look Ma No Hands’ is a 17-minute long jazz piece. Listen to the new tracks from Andre 3000 below.
Yesterday (May 12), Andre 3000 was spotted attending the graduation of Outkast partner Big Boi’s son, Andre “Bamboo” Patton II. The son of the rapper was graduating with his high school diploma from Woodward Academy in Georgia, reports HipHopDX.
Andre 3000 is reportedly heading back to acting and is set to star in upcoming sci-fi film ‘High Life’ alongside actor Robert Pattinson.
‘High Life’ follows a group of convicts who earn reduced sentences in exchange for setting out on a dangerous mission to explore a black hole.
The rapper’s acing career is most notable for his role as Jim Hendrix in biopic ‘Jimi: All Is By My Side’.
The singer played guitar for six hours a day in preparation for the role, and revealed how he struggled to learn to play the instrument left-handed.
