Hip-hop's Renaissance man never stops working.

Andre Benjamin--better known as Andre 3000 and one half of Outkast--is set to release an album of music he wrote and recorded for Class of 3000, the animated series he cocreated for the Cartoon Network. The 14-track album, Class of 3000: Music Volume I, hits stores July 3 from La Face.

Class of 3000 chronicles the life of the Andre-voiced Sunny Bridges, who gives up his flourishing music career to teach a group of gifted musical prodigies at his alma mater, the Westley School for the Performing Arts.

The music is what one would expect from a cartoon created by Andre 3000: big beats, jazzy melodies, and lots of gospel-tinged, multipart harmonies, with dialogue from Bridges and his students scattered throughout.

The show just kicked off its second season, with new episodes airing Thursdays at 7 p.m.

Benjamin is reportedly set to star in a biopic about Sammy Davis Jr. and is also costarring in Semi-Pro, a Will Ferrell comedy set in the American Basketball Association.


Class of 3000 tracklist:

1. "Class of 3000 Theme"

2. "Life Without Music"

3. "Throwdown"

4. "Oh Peanut"

5. "We Want Your Soul"

6. "Banana Zoo"

7. "A Richer Shade of Blue"

8. "Fight the Blob"

9. "UFO Ninja"

10. "Kim Kam Jam"

11. "Luna Love"

12. "The Crayon Song"

13. "My Mentor"

14. "Cool Kitty"

This is a good show, and some of these songs could be hits on their own. I'm looking forward to hearing how these tunes stand on their own.
