André 3000 wore a piano on his back to the Met Gala last night, and now we know why.

He dropped a new album as the event got underway called 7 piano sketches, which he called the worst rap album ever.

"warning: no bars," wrote André on Instagram. "These piano sketches are improvisations. To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting."

"If it feels really good I will try to repeat it," he added. "I cannot name which notes, keys or chords that I’m playing. I simply like the sound and mechanics of piano playing ... It’s jokingly the worst rap album in history because there are no lyrics on it at all. It’s the best because it’s the free-est emotionally and best I’ve felt personally. It’s the best because it’s like a palette cleanser for me."

The piano album is the second instrumental project André has released, as he dropped his all flute album, New Blue Sun, in 2023.

Meanwhile, his group OutKast was just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so we might see him rapping during a performance.
