Big Boi, of Outkast, announced that he was working on a solo album a while back, but we haven't heard too much since that. In a recent interview with Vibe, Big Boi gave a little heads up on the album.

"I'm going to put 12 songs on there, I'm finished with like nine right now," says Big Boi. "I plan on releasing a single on December 31 at midnight going into the New Year, 'cause I want all the stuff to be '08, everything to be brand new. It's going to be a lot of surprises. We just really trying to bring that good music back."

There is no official release date or title, Big Boi said he may call the album Sir Luscious Left Foot. Sade and Organized Noize are among featured guests on the album.

Andre 3000 is also working on his solo album. Outkast doesn't plan to release the works together as they did with Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, which has sold over 11 million copies to date. Big Boi added that he and Andre 3000 will release another Outkast group album after both solo projects are finished.
