Top Ten Artists to Listen too if you want more Andre 3000 – Artist # 5 “I like Andre 3000, judging by his history and appeal many of you like Andre as well. The problem is that there is only one Andre 3000.

Hope you like the number 10 artists on this list and I hope you like next artist to come, thanks so much for reading.” Rj Knight # 5
