The dreamy and progressive cut will appear on Kamasi's upcoming album due on May 3.

Kamasi Washington and Andre 3000 have just released a stunning piece of art for the ears. Two masters of sound have come together to release "Dream State." This collaboration makes a lot of sense for both sides, especially for Three Stacks. The Outkast rapper came through with his first-ever solo album, which was all flutes and woodwind instruments being played. New Blue Sun, which was released late last year, was a shocking development for the hip-hop world for multiple reasons.

A lot of people were upset and confused as to why Andre was going in this direction, especially for his first solo effort. Furthermore, he has been in music for over 30 years and has never put out a project on his own. But the results shut up a lot of skeptics and it wound up being a gorgeous and relaxing listen. For all of these reasons, working with a jazz master like Kamasi Washington, makes sense for someone trying to work on honing his skills.
