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.

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. Read More »
