Outkast Share Rare Zack de la Rocha Remix of ‘B.O.B.’
With the 20th-anniversary reissue of Outkast’s Stankonia dropping on Friday (Oct. 30), the duo shared one of the rare tracks that will appear on the record — the remix of “B.O.B.

In a newly resurfaced throwback video, the RATM singer can be seen with his pre-Rage hardcore band Hard Stance.
