    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!

    I had a long phone chat with Swiff after the Atlanta Outkast concerts and we ended up talking for almost an hour about the who, whats and whys surrounding the 3 day groove fest.

    [READ: Outkast #ATLast = 3 Days of ATL Memories + Surprise Performance By Erykah Badu (VIDEO)]

    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.’
