August 4, 2006 at 03:24:00 PM

The hip-hop duo finally sets the tracklist of the soundtrack for the group's upcoming movie, starring Andre 3000 and Big Boi and set in the 1930s.

With just a few weeks left to spare, hip-hop duo OutKast has finalized the track list for the long-awaited soundtrack to its film, Idlewild.

The album arrives August 22, three days before the film hits theaters via Universal Pictures. The LaFace/Zomba soundtrack features guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Sleepy Brown, and Macy Gray, among others.

The first single is "Mighty O," which was produced by Organized Noize and features OutKast principals Andre 3000 and Big Boi on the same track for the first time since 2000. The latter takes top billing on second single "Morris Brown" featuring Scar and Sleepy Brown.

In the Idlewild film, which has been postponed numerous times, Andre 3000 plays Percival, a club piano player, while Big Boi plays the club's lead performer and manager, Rooster. The film is set in the 1930s. Written and directed by music video veteran Bryan Barber, it also stars Terrence Howard, Faizon Love, and Cicely Tyson.

"This is probably the first musical that didn't have the music done before it was shot," Andre 3000 recently told Billboard. "That has been the biggest lesson I've learned in this whole thing. Next time, we'll do the music first."

The soundtrack to Idlewild is as follows:

"Intro"
"Mighty O"
"Peaches" featuring Sleepy Brown & Scar
"Idlewild Blue (Don'tchu Worry 'Bout Me)"
"Infatuation (Interlude)"
"N2U" featuring Khujo Goodie

I can't wait for this movie nor this soundtrack. I like OutKast so this should be an interesting change for them.
