It seems like the Christmas spirit lives on, as the hip hop gods have a very exciting gift for fans worldwide. In a Stereogum interview, whose main focus was ATL rapper Future, Organized Noize member Rico Wade confirmed that everyone’s dreams had indeed come true: Andre 3000 and Big Boi are reuniting and taking the Coachella stage. While this is great news in and of itself, he also dropped some information about the unreleased Andre solo tracks and some collaborations between three stacks and Future, slated to be on Honest.
As we bide our time in the lobby, he affably spills the beans about unreleased Andre 3000 solo songs from a decade ago and his hopes to score Future a cameo during OutKast’s reunion sets at Coachella. Eventually he pulls out his iPhone and plays me a Future/Andre collaboration he produced called “Benz Bitch” that’s earmarked for Honest. It’s yet another side of Future and one rarely heard: brainy, libidinous space-age funk mined from Stankonia’s dankest caverns, an homage to his Dungeon Family roots.
You can read the full article here, and get excited for an awesome Coachella festival. Hopefully Andre drops off some more music, we can dream.
