Los Angeles based DJ K-Sly and the Drop Squad recently joined forces for a unique remix project of music from the legendary southern duo, Outkast.

The album, titled The Outkasts, included vocals from the ATL duo -- consisting of Big Boi and Andre 3000 -- over new production inspired by other musical greats.

"We envisioned using Outkast vocals while, either sampling, looping, or creating a whole new beat -- all inspired by legendary music from musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, The Eagles and more," sid K-Sly of the concept behind the free project.

It serves as a tribute to one of DJ K-Sly's favorite groups of all-time. After teaming up with the Drop Squad, a three man crew made up of Daniel, Ish, and Dame, The Outkasts got legs.

"For me, this is a deeper step into my love of music. I was encouraged when collaborating with the Drop Squad. Through their encouragement and fire, we were lead to what you are about hear," she said.

"Why OutKast? Outkast, in my humble opinion, is by far the most versatile hip-hop group for our generation. They're in parties, hearts, and minds," K-Sly continued.

The remix project includes 16 tracks, with re-worked versions of "Rosa Parks," "Hey Ya!," "Bombs Over Bahgdad," and "Wheelz of Steel", among others.

The best thing about The Outkasts is that it's free. Download it here (via ZShare.net).
