André 3000, the former member of the popular group OutKast, graced the stage as the closing act at the 47th annual Atlanta Jazz Festival. The talented musician, who surprised fans with an instrumental flute album last year, treated the audience to songs from his solo project, "New Blue Sun."
As reported by Atlanta News First, André's performance was the highlight of the festival, leaving fans in awe of his musical prowess. One fan, Kimoni Jiggetts, expressed her excitement after seeing him live for the first time, stating that his music is perfect for focusing. Kenny Okafor, a regular attendee of the festival, also shared his appreciation for the free concert, emphasizing the significance of taking advantage of such a rare opportunity.
The festival, which ran for three days at Piedmont Park, drew in a massive crowd of approximately 150,000 people. This free event not only showcased the best of jazz, but also celebrated culture and community, making it a highly anticipated annual event.
For hip-hop fans, the news of André releasing a solo album was a long-awaited dream come true. Since the duo stopped recording as a group, fans have been eagerly waiting for new music from the talented artist. And when the announcement was made, the music world rejoiced, although it was revealed that André would not be rapping on the album.
In an interview with NPR, André opened up about his decision to not rap on the album, stating that it has become increasingly difficult for him to do so in these times. Despite trying, he admitted that he doesn't feel happy about sharing his rap songs, which is the most important factor for him. However, he reassured fans that he still wants to create music and experiment with different genres.
