Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Outkast legend's second solo album is a remarkably eclectic, feature-heavy expansion of his eclectic rap sound. Collaborating with an incredibly diverse roster that includes A$AP Rocky, Phantogram, and Little Dragon, the record bridges rapid-fire Southern lyricism with shimmering, psychedelic indie-pop.
