Besieged with prattle about the bad-blood allegedly driving Outkast’s hiatus, Antwan “Big Boi” Patton might be addressing the gossip-mongers with the aggressively-titled Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. Now far be it from us to fan the flames, but we still can’t help noticing that Andre 3000’s nowhere to be seen on what is an exceedingly collaboration-heavy follow-up to Sir Lucious Left Foot... ASAP Rocky, Killer Mike, Kid Cudi and T.I. drop in to rap, Kelly Rowland and Little Dragon contribute vocals, and there’s even a guest spot from the singer of surf-rock outfit Wavves. And as we can’t see anyone describing his second solo outing as anything but a triumph, if those rumours are true then this success should come as sweet revenge for the big man.
