Yesterday we reported that 9th Wonder will not appear on Drake's highly anticipated Take Care. That was a little disappointing, but today there's some good news. It's been confirmed that André 3000 will be featured on a song for the upcoming Drake project. Here's how it went down, according to The Fader:

Drake was holed up in the studio with his producer/engineer, Noah "40" Shebib, when he got a phone call from the acclaimed Outkast emcee, whose guest features are rare, but always on point. Drake had mentioned earlier in the year that André was one of the few rappers that he really wanted to get involved, but during this call it was André who said he wanted to be a part of Take Care. He specified that he wanted to get on a 40 beat. At the time, the instrumental slated for André was being called "Good Enough for The Both of Us," but Drake called that a "shitty title," so it will most likely get changed before the album drops.

Take Care is scheduled for a November 15 release date.
