Outkast's Big Boi enlisted Sade for "CPU 2.0," a new take on "CPU" off of his 2012 album, "Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors." The remix features bits from Sade's 1998 single, "Nothing Can Come Between Us," giving a fresh edge to Big Boi's collaboration with electronic duo Phantogram.

The smooth track debuted ahead of Big Boi's reunion with Outkast bandmate Andre 3000. After years of pursuing solo acting and recording careers, the hip-hop duo is set to play more than 40 shows this year, hitting big-name festivals like Coachella and Governors Ball. While Outkast hasn't released a studio album since "Idlewild" in 2006, there is talk that the upcoming reunion will get Big Boi and Andre 3000 back in the recording studio together.

Take a listen to Big Boi's "CPU 2.0" with Phantogram and Sade below.
