OutKast fans rejoice! There's a reunion in the works.

Michelle over at Straightfromthea.com caught up with Big Boi recently and the legendary MC put her on to some new information about the highly anticipated musical return. It looks like both Andree 3000 and Big Boi have satisfied their solo aspirations and are now looking to get back together.

Check out what Big Boi's saying:

Mr. Patton gave me some inside information about some upcoming projects.  I know you ALL are waiting for Sir Lucious Leftfoot to drop but Big Boi already has another project completed and ready to go.  I'm sworn to secrecy on the name but just know that the title is about as comical as Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

Also, the biggest bit of news he let drop was that he met with Dre Thursday night and the two are officially working on another Outkast project! I'm so happy, I'm bout to put on my wedges and do a table dance!!!

I also ran into Big Boi over the weekend as well. You already know I gave him a hard time about my dissapointment that I still have not had the chance to listen to his second solo CD. Mr. Patton told me that I will get my chance months ago, but it has yet to happen. However, Antwan promised me that he'd make it happen.

Naturally, I pushed for an actual date, and that's when one of the god fathers of the Atlanta hip-hop explosion told me that he was flying out to Los Angeles to film a two-part episode for NBC's long running TV court-drama, Law & Order SVU for sweeps week.

Though Antwan was noticeably mute on his upcoming role, he seemed to be extremely excited about the oppurtunity. I didn't push too much. I mean, we were at a party.

While I am a huge fan of Law & Order, I'm not a fan of the SVU franchise. I like good ole' Jack McCoy and Lt Van Buren in that series.

Big Boi is now the second Atlanta rapper to star in the long running television program. Ludacris also made a surprise appearance on the show last year.

SOHH I guess it's safe to say that with a new solo CD dropping, talk of a reunion with his musical counterpart, and now this TV gig, things are as right as rain for the southern rapper.

Talk to y'all lata,
