About OutKast
OutKast are the Atlanta hip-hop duo of André 3000 and Big Boi. Their recordings bring Southern storytelling together with funk, soul, jazz and rock, often using futuristic imagery and elaborate musical settings. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik established their early approach, while ATLiens and Aquemini expanded its range. Stankonia pushed further into electronic and psychedelic textures, and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below presented contrasting sides of the partnership. Across these changes, the duo's distinct vocal styles and interest in narrative remained central to the music.
