Outkast will release three separate albums in 2009- according to one half of the hip hop legends.

Big Boi told us that his record will be out early next year- with an Andre 3000 album and proper Outkast record due later.

He said: “Me and ‘Dre were on the conference call (recently). He’s working on his album; my album is done. We’re gonna wait until the top of the year — January or February — to put it out.”

“Then ‘Dre is gonna come hit y’all, and [then] we’re gonna do the Outkast album. So y’all gonna get three records from the ‘Kast next year.”
