Outkast is celebrating the 25th anniversary of ATLiens on Friday (August 27) with the release of a deluxe version of the critically acclaimed Hip Hop classic

Spin magazine, Big Boi talked about the meaning behind Two Dope Boyz (In A Cadillac). The point that we were proving is that well eat your ass up, he said at the time. We some real MCs. Black dog and black wolf is what they called us in high school. Just lyrically dominant, and its still about that. I stay recording and Im halfway done with my next solo record, which someone is saying is one of my best records ever its some of my best work to date. I think its going to shock a lot of people. A post shared by Outkast (@outkast) The updated version of ATLiens will come with 14 previously unreleased instrumental tracks. For the accompanying CD booklet and graphics, Outkastenlisted graphic designer Frank Gomez to illustrate their music industry journey. Then on Monday (August 30), production team Organized Noize will host a live stream event discussing ATLiens with Brandon Butler of Butter.ATL and Dr. Joycelyn Wilson.
