Some tweets from journalist Jayson Rodriguez, who was at an album preview held by Atlanta rapper Big Boi, have offered a great deal of insight into the OutKast lyricist’s next studio album, titled Boomiverse.
Rodriguez, who was present at the New York City listening event, revealed that the album might feature two LPs. It’s unclear if this is evidence of a double album from the Southern wordsmith or two separate releases.
“Big Boi previewed his new album Boomiverse tonight at Electric Lady Sound in NYC. Was 12 tracks aka the first sack, aka the first of two LPs,” Jayson Rodriguez tweeted yesterday (April 24).
Additionally, fans can expect guest appearances from Gucci Mane, Travis Scott, and Kurupt. Killer Mike, who is featured alongside Big Boi and Jeezy on the newly released “Kill Jill” single, makes another appearance on Boomiverse with “Made Man.”
“He has a record with Killer Mike and Kurupt called Made Man and Big Boi and Mike rip shit…Another record features Gucci Mane and La Flare is [100 emojis],” Rodriguez wrote in two separate tweets.

On the production end, Big Boi will reunite with renowned Atlanta beatmakers Organized Noize for the project. In addition to working with Big Boi on Boomiverse, Organized Noize have been hard at work on their own album, the ONP EP, which is scheduled for release on May 5.
It was just last week when Big Boi announced on Instagram that a solo release titled Boomiverse would be “Coming Soon.” His last solo album came with the release of 2012’s Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors.
