Outkast's Andre 3000 is among the producers No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani has enlisted for her long-awaited debut solo album. In addition to producing tracks for set, Andre 3000 is also slated to make a guest appearance on the song "Long Way To Go."
According to sources, the as-yet-untitled album is being eyed for a spring 2004 release via Interscope and may also include tracks with Missy Elliott. Stefani has already collaborated with her No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal, as well as songwriter Linda Perry (Pink, Christina Aguilera) and producers Dallas Austin (TLC, Madonna) and Damon Elliott (Destiny's Child).
"The song was actually going to go on [Outkast's upcoming Arista set "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below"], but I didn't feel like my audience was ready to hear this type of song," Andre 3000 tells Billboard.com of "Long Way To Go." "It's a song about an interracial relationship and I thought Gwen Stefani would be a great person to do it with."

It seems Gwen Stefani and Outkast have had prior work experience, because I just recently heard the Stank Remix to "Hey Baby" with Gwen, Big Boi, Andre, and Killer Mike. It's a great song! Much propers to the Stank Klan and No Doubt!!!!
