Andre 3000 is truly a one of one, an emcees emcee, and one of the most respected humans in hip hop. Now and days you can catch Andre in Japan or the streets of New York or in a field in Georgia with his flute just living.

As you'll notice in this episode several times these past 20 years or so we have gotten word that a solo album would be coming. We are still waiting on the solo Andre album.
