As Atlanta preps for the homecoming concert of the legendary group Outkast, Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000) preps for the debut of his highly anticipated portrayal of Jimi Hendrix.

The film, ‘All Is By My Side’ hits theatres nationwide today and Andre has spent a full week promoting the new flick, where he stars as stars as legendary rocker Jimi Hendrix.

The revealing biopic was penned by Academy Award-winning writer-director John Ridley (12 Years A Slave) and it covers a year in Hendrix?s life (from 1966-67). The film presents an intimate portrait of the sensitive young musician on the verge of becoming a rock legend.

I attended the LA press conference for the film last Sunday and the both Andre and Ridley shared quite a few intimidate details about the film.

For example, Andre spoke of how difficult it was to learn to play guitar with his left hand… a task he hilariously compared to pleasuring one’s self with the wrong hand.
