Atlanta, Georgia, United States (1993 – present)

Outkast is an American duo from Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The duo is one of the most successful hip-hop groups of all time, having received six Grammy Awards. Over 25 million copies have been sold of Outkast’s eight releases: five studio albums, a greatest hits release, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, a double album containing a solo album from each member. Hey Ya! and The Way You Move were two of the biggest selling songs of 2003.

The group’s original musical style was a mixture of Dirty South and G-Funk. Since then funk, soul, pop, electronic music, rock, spoken word poetry, jazz, and blues have been added to the group’s musical palette. The duo consists of Atlanta native André “Andre 3000” Benjamin (formerly known as Dré) and Georgia-born Antwan “Big Boi” Patton.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is one of only four hip-hop albums to be certified Diamond in the U.S. for shipping over 10 million units. Along with Outkast’s commercial success, they have maintained an experimental approach in their music and are widely praised for their originality and artistic content.

Benjamin and Patton met while attending Tri-Cities High School, a Visual and Performing Arts School. Benjamin’s parents were divorced and he was living with his father. Meanwhile, Patton had to move with his four brothers and six sisters from Savannah to Atlanta.

    You need to sit back and then listen to ATLiens. It has a dark vibe, you need to feel that vibe. You can only feel some vibes if you focussing on them. No half-listening, no skipping. Take some time...

    How can you not love ATLiens? the whole vibe of the album is dope, it's atmospheric, clever and reflective. easily a 10/10 album and imo their finest work.

    ATLiens is great, but it's my least favorite of their first 4 albums.

    well for me the strange thing is the Aquemini praise. Obviously it's great too but obviously not their best either. Mamacita is that wack track on it

    ATLiens doesn't have their best songs, but as a whole I think it's their best album.
