Outkast rapper Big Boi has announced plans to release his new solo album this summer.

'Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty' will be available from July 6.

The album features guest appearances from Big Boi’s Outkast bandmate Andre 3000, T.I. and Jamie Foxx.

Earlier this month the rapper revealed that his collaboration with Andre 3000 was “crazy, bananas”.

Meanwhile, the duo are expected to start work on a new Outkast album later this year.
