André 3000 has announced the first of a series of tour dates behind his latest demo album 'New Blue Sun'.
Last year, the Outkast rapper returned with a surprise new 87-minute project, which saw him collaborate with stars of the jazz scene and deliver a laid-back, experimental piece of music.
Starting next week, he will hit the road for a series of tours across the United States. He will be accompanied on the shows by a number of his “New Blue Sun” collaborators, including Carlos Nino, Nate Mercero, Surya Potovasina and DeAntoni Parks.

After the release of the new album, its unusual and striking titles received great attention. The tracklist includes songs titled “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a Rap Album But That's Literally How the Wind Blew Me Up This Time” and “The Slang P Word.”
ssy rolls off the tongue much better than the appropriate word for vagina. “Do you agree?”, as well as the more poetic song “Dreams once buried under the dungeon floor are slowly sprouting in undying gardens.”
Elsewhere, André 3000 said a collaboration with SAULT was on the cards, revealing he spent some time in the studio with the mystery group, while Ja Rule said he was “broken-hearted” that André 3000 didn't want to rap anymore.
