Return of Dre & Big Boi

Dirty South duo Outkast are releasing the followup to the smashing Speakerboxxx/Love Below in the fall. If the last album is any indication of their direction, I am pumped to hear what they have to say. Look for more jazzy acid beats from Andre 3000.

The strange thing is that neither of them are ever in the studio recording together:

"Since the [1998 album] 'Aquemini,' we haven't been in the studio together. But Dre will call me up and be like, 'Here's my idea. Send me the Pro Tools session so I can go in there and lace it.'"

Crazy talk.
