About OutKast
OutKast's blend of gritty Southern soul, fluid raps, and the rolling G-funk of
their Organized Noize production crew epitomized the Atlanta wing of hip-hop's rising
force, the Dirty South, during the late '90s. Along with Goodie Mob, OutKast took Southern
hip-hop in bold, innovative new directions: less reliance on aggression, more positivity and
melody, thicker arrangements, and intricate lyrics. After DrZ and Big Boi hit number one on
the rap charts with their first single, "Player's Ball," the duo embarked on a run
of platinum albums spiked with several hit singles, enjoying numerous critical accolades
in addition to their commercial success.
AndrZ Benjamin (DrZ) and Antwan Patton (Big Boi) attended the same high school in the
Atlanta borough of East Point, and several lyrical battles made each gain respect for
the other's skills. They formed OutKast and were pursued by Organized Noize
Productions, hitmakers for TLC and Xscape. Signed to the local LaFace label just after
high school, OutKast recorded and released "Player's Ball," then watched the single rise
to number one on the rap charts. It slipped from the top spot only after six weeks, was
certified gold, and created a buzz for a full-length release. That album,
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, hit the Top 20 in 1994 and was certified platinum by the end
of the year. DrZ and Big Boi also won Best New Rap Group of the Year at the 1995 Source Awards.
