Outkast

All around music phenomenons, Big Boi and Andre 3000, collectively known as Outkast, are still riding a giant wave created by their 2003 smash hit album Speakerboxx/The Love Below (Arista). In the fall, they were spotted at international awards shows, including the MTV Europe Awards, American Music Awards and the World Music Awards, where they continued to collect honors for the music on their 2003 album. But now the two are reported to have completed two new albums and have finished shooting their long-awaited HBO musical, My Life in Idlewild, in which they both star. —EP
