André 3000 has said a collaboration with SAULT is on the cards, revealing that he has spent time in the studio with the mysterious collective.During an interview on BBC Radio 6 Music last month, the OutKast rapper and solo musician (real name André Benjamin) explained: “A musician friend turned me on to them when they were in their secrecy stage.

So he connected me with them.“You know, we hung out, went to the studio, messed around a bit… yeah. And once I was turned on to them, I kind of listened to what was done before.

I think they’d only had like one or two albums out at that time.”Host Gilles Peterson then asked Benjamin if he had recorded any music with SAULT, and whether fans could “look forward to” hearing it. “We can look forward to it in the future,” he responded.“We’ve talked about me coming there [to London], actually, to work in the studio with them.

But I’ve hung out [with them] in the studio here in LA before. You know, we messed around and played a lot of music.”He concluded: “But we’re hoping to do something a little bit more substantial, soon.”A post shared by BBC Radio 6 Music (@bbc6music)Benjamin was speaking to the station about his debut solo album ‘New Blue Sun’, which was released last November.
