Goodie Mob Strike Back With Hard-Hitting Janelle Monáe Collabo "Special Education"
Nearly a year to the day after releasing the tepid "Is That You God," Goodie Mob are back with another new song. And unlike that gospel-country-R&B-rap track, this song is the kind of no-nonsense banger that will actually please fans of their classic 1995 debut Soul Food.
"Special Education" boasts a rumbling bass line, a conformity-slamming chorus from Janelle Monae and a vitriolic verse from returning member Cee Lo Green. And seriously, how long has it been since you've heard the Voice coach throw down?
Listen to it above and get ready for their fourth album, Age Against the Machine, to drop August 27. This could be a truly triumphant reunion record.
