All signs lead to an epicOutkast reunion in the 2014. AfterBillboard reportednumerous sources confirmed Andre “3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton prepping a major comeback as a tandem, Rico Wade lets new details slip in a new interview withStereo Gum.
Wade, the Organized Noize member (one-third of the Dungeon crew who has produced such Outkast hits as theirSouthernplayalisticadillacmuzik LP and “So Fresh, So Clean” fromStankonia) and cousin of Atlanta rapper Future, also reveals that theHonest rapper has tracks with 3 Stacks:
“I put Future in the studio for the first time,” Rico explains, eager to shed light on his own under-recognized legacy. As we bide our time in the lobby, he affably spills the beans about unreleasedAndre 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 fromStankonia’s dankest caverns, an homage to his Dungeon Family roots.
