ATL's favourite rap duo, Outkast, are getting ready for a slew of new releases in 2009.

The group is working on a new full-length Outkast album, their first in more than three years, as well as solo records from both André 3000 and Big Boi.

After a three-year absence after the release of their conceptual record Idlewild, Big Boi and Andre 3000 will unite for a proper Outkast release in 2009 -- in addition to a pair of solo albums from each! "Y'all gonna get three records from the 'Kast next year," Big Boi told MTV.com.

The forthcoming releases include Boi's oft-delayed sophomore solo outing, Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty, a new Andre 3000 record, which "he's working on," and the much-anticipated Outkast album. "We're gonna wait until the top of the year -- January or February -- to put it out," Boi said of his solo set. "Then 'Dre is gonna come hit y'all, and [then] we're gonna do the Outkast album."
