Often noted for blending of Southern soul, hip-hop and G-funk into their own smooth and sexy sound, Atlanta based OutKast formed in 1992. Andre "Dre" Benjamin and Antwan "Big Boi" Patton hit number one on the rap charts with "Player's Ball" for local recording label LaFace Records. It would be released on their first album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. The album would not only go gold, but also earn them the Best New Rap Group title at the 1995 Source Awards.
ATLiens had a crossover hit, "Elevators (You & Me)," that made it into the Top 20 on pop charts.
Critical acclaim continued to flow in for the group, and when Dre and Big Boi released "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" in 2003 they went triple platinum within a month.
