Outkast stars Big Boi and Andre 3000 are set to reunite on a new version of Frank Ocean's 'Pink Matter' - as both rappers have now contributed a verse to the Channel Orange star's track.

The original version of 'Pink Matter' featured a verse by Andre 3000, and now his former 'Hey Ya' bandmate Big Boi has also contributed vocals to a reworked version of the track, reports Consequence Of Sound. The report stems from a post made on Big Boi's Tumblr account, where he posted an image of lyrics along with the message: "Dropping a verse on this Frank Ocean 'Pink Matter'"

The website also reports that the new version of the track will be released next week, marking the first time the Outkast stars have appeared on a track since their appearance on 'The Art Of Storytellin' Part 4' in 2008, a track by DJ Drama featuring Outkast and Marsha Ambrosius taken from Gangsta Grillz: The Album.

Big Boi has been busy with collaborations of late - having teamed up with hotly tipped UK urban star Jai Paul on new track 'High Res' and also teasing a potential duet with Mumford & Sons which he insists is in the pipeline.

The star claims that previous plans to work with the multi-million selling Babel band were previously put on hold, but that ideas to work together we still in place.

"I was actually going to do something with Mumford & Sons," Big Boi says in an interview with US radio show CBS Local. "I ran into them at Glastonbury. Still something will probably be in the works. They know I want to work with them and they are open to it."
