What’s your favorite Outkast track?? Have you ever experienced them in concert?

Diehard Outkast fans know that there is only one DJ behind the legendary hip-hop group, and that is DJ Cutmaster Swiff!

After our phone conversation, I thought it would be cool to sit down with him for a one on one that I could share with my readers.

[Sidebar: Dre?and Big aren’t doing press about the festival tour, so who better to talk to than the man behind the two legends?]

Swiff and I discussed Outkast’s historic ‘reunion’ tour that started back in April with Coachella (click HERE if you missed that), as well as how the ‘ATL Roundup’ segment during Day 3 of #ATLast came about, and his 20 year+ history with the group, which started way before Big & Dre were called ‘Outkast.’

The revealing biopic was penned by Academy Award-winning writer-director John Ridley (12 Years A Slave) and it covers a year in Hendrix?s life (from 1966-67). The film presents an intimate portrait of the sensitive young musician on the verge of becoming a rock legend.
