Andrรฉ 3000 graced the set of *The Late Show With Stephen Colbert* on a Tuesday night. It was one of those moments where the studio felt more like a confessional than a stage. He delved into the tales behind his latest masterpiece, *New Blue Sun*, and, oh boy, did he deliver a showstopper! His performance of the epic “That Night in Hawaii When I Turned Into a Panther and Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldnโt Control … Shยฅt Was Wild” lasted a whopping 10-and-a-half minutes. You gotta see it to believe it.

Now, earlier in the week, this former Outkast icon dropped a bombshell โ he’s hitting the road! *New Blue Sun* is going on tour, and he’s not alone. Picture this: Carlos Niรฑo, Nate Mercereau, Surya Botofasina, and Deantoni Parks jamming alongside Andrรฉ 3000, just like they did on *Colbert*. And get this โ after dropping last November, his track โI Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a โRapโ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Timeโ made waves. At 12 minutes and 20 seconds, it crashed into the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 90, setting a record for the longest song ever to chart. Can you believe that?
