Outkast have revealed they will release three albums next year.

Antwan 'Big Boi' Patton and André '3000' Benjamin will each contribute a solo album, packaged as a single double-disc offering, as a follow-up to 2003's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, as well as working on an additional collaborative effort.

While André 3000's side of the project remains unnamed, Big Boi's Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty is apparently finished, with its release halted by André's progress on his venture.

Big Boi told MTV: "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 we're gonna do the OutKast album. So y'all gonna see three records from OutKast next year."
 
André had some unusual advice for fans that wanted to push him to his full potential.
 
He said: "To be honest, I work best when people doubt me. Our whole OutKast career has been built on people doubting us.
 
"We wouldn't be OutKast if people didn't. Actually, if you see me, tell me I'm wack. That's the best thing you can do for me. You know, if you want a greater album, say that. Say that!"
