Outkast will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal 2000 album Stankonia with a full reissue scheduled for release on October 30th.
First released in October 2000 via Arista/LaFace, the studio album from the Atlanta hip-hop duo helped launch members Big Boi and André 3000 to superstar status thanks to its hit singles “Miss Jackson”, “So Fresh, So Clean”, and “B.O.B.”. The reissue of the album will feature previously unreleased remixes of the original recordings, and Vinyl Me, Please will release a 2LP version on black-and-white galaxy vinyl available to its subscribers.

Earlier this year, André 3000 made a rare public announcement to promote a new line of shirts that looked to raise money for Movement for Black Lives.
“Something very important is happening all over the world and it is happening to all of us. How does it make you feel?” the rapper/actor said in a statement. “For 3 days, a selection of shirts inspired by a collection of my jumpsuits will be sold and 100% of net proceeds will be donated to Movement for Black Lives [@mvmnt4blklives] to aid in their fight to end police brutality & racial injustice against Black people.”
