About

Official YouTube channel for OutKast. OutKast's blend of gritty Southern soul, fluid raps, and the low-slung funk of their production crew epitomized the Atlanta wing of hip-hop's rising force, the Dirty South, during the mid to late '90s. OutKast took Southern hip-hop in bold and innovative directions: less reliance on aggression, more positivity and melody, thicker arrangements, and intricate lyrics. After Andre 3000 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.
