The entire 'Goodie Mob' crew, including group founder and ex-judge on NBC's The Voice Cee-Lo Green, will officially all be heard together again on their new album, Age Against the Machine, set to release on June 18th.

This release date for the "Soul Food" rappers' reunion LP was confirmed by Cee-Lo's manager to Fuse last week and will be the first new 'Goodie Mob' record to drop in nine years. The Atlanta hip-hop group released their last album One Monkey Don't Stop No Show back in 2004 without their frontman Cee-Lo, who hasn't appeared with fellow members Big Gipp, Khujo, and T-Mo since 1999's World Party.

"It's future-sounding," says Green's manager Mestel of the group's upcoming album. "It's not really what you would think Goodie Mob would be. I think people will be surprised in a positive way when they hear it." Mestel also revealed that the group is planning on putting together a tour to support the album, reports Fuse.

The group has reportedly been working on the album since 2009, but "prior engagements and preoccupations" have caused the new album's delay, according to Cee-Lo.

Back in January, the former Voice judge told Fuse that the new "progressive" album was "pretty much done."

"I think that we've grown a great deal in the last 10 years. There's a lot more to consider. There's a broader audience and a greater aspiration to reach as many people as we can; To be as relatable and to be as real, relevant and resourceful as we can. Age Against the Machine is symbolic of wisdom being a weapon of choice," the "Forget You" singer continued.

Although no longer judging on NBC's singing reality series, Cee-Lo has been busy with his Las Vegas show Cee Lo Is Loberace in addition to making music for the upcoming 'Goodie Mob' record and the new Cee-Lo Green solo album coming in October, Mestel tells Fuse.

Cee-Lo claims that he will use his newfound fame from his "professional hiatus" to help promote his "family" Goodie Mob's new ventures. "I went out into the world and became somebody. And now i got a chance to bring some of that success back home and share it. Invest it right back into the family business."

It's been a year since the "Dirty South" rappers debuted their latest song, "Fight to Win" on The Voice and over a decade since we've heard a new album from the complete "Goodie Mob" crew, but the wait is finally over as Age Against the Machine's June release is quickly approaching.

Let's hope this new album was worth the wait...
