Revolt TV caught up with Big Boi at the Sundance Flim Festival over the weekend, and when asked about the highly anticipated OutKast reunion he said…

“We’re celebrating 20 years, a milestone in our careers,” “It’s for the fans, you know? Can’t wait to get on stage with my brother 3 Stacks and you know, kill ‘em. It’s a long time to still be doing music at a high caliber, and having fun doing it.”

According to both Billboard and Revolt TV, OutKast are set to end their six-year hiatus by reuniting at Coachella 2014, which kicks off on April 11.

Frank Ocean ft. OutKast – Pink Matter (Remix) (Audio)

outkast

I guess you can call this a reunion or the simple addition of Big Boi’s verse on an already Andre 3000-featured “Pink Matter.” Either way, it’s a step closer to a new OutKast track. Big Boi sent his highly-anticipated remix of “Pink Matter” to Elliott Wilson for the world to hear on Elliott’s #KeepItThoro show. The track has tags, which is actually Elliott’s infectious laugh, but stay tuned for the CDQ version coming soon.

UPDATE: CDQ now available below.

Big Boi To Reunite With Andre 3000 On New Version Of Frank Ocean’s “Pink Matter” (News)

Image taken from Instagram

Earlier this summer, Big Boi tweeted why he wasn’t featured on Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange along his Outkast other-half, Andre 3000. “Dre didn’t want an Outkast Record Coming out on anybody else.” Hmmm, it took only 6 months to flip that.

This past weekend, the ATL-ien instagram’d a piece of paper (posted above) with writing titled “Pink Matter.” Could it be a new updated verse? Well, the IG caption “Dropping a verse on this Frank Ocean ‘Pink Matter'” pretty much confirms it.

According to HipHopDX, the new version of “Pink Matter” featuring Outkast is set to be released next week. I think we all have high expectations for this one.

UPDATE: T.I.’s “Sorry” is next on the Outkast reunion list.
