Benjamin and Patton earned a record deal with LaFace Records right away after finishing high school. Outkast’s debut album, “Southern Playalisticadillacmuzik,” was published in 1994 and went platinum, thanks in large part to the success of the song “Player’s Ball.”
They won the Best New Rap of the Year in 1995 at the Source Awards. With the release of their follow-up album, “ATLiens,” in 1996, Outkast built on their prior success.
As a result of the group’s popularity, they were liberated to experiment with a variety of fresh and interesting sounds and influences, such as trip-hop and funk. Once more, both the public and the press praised Outkast’s fashion and poetry. He began utilizing the stage name “Andre 3000” in order to distinguish himself apart from Dr. Dre (as well as for other reasons). With the track “Ms. Jackson,” which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, of their fourth album, Stankonia (2000), Andres debuted his new stage name, André 3000, and broadened the band’s appeal to a wider audience.
Outkast released Big Boi and Dre Present… OutKast, Album in 2002, which was the groups greatest hits.
In 2003 Outkast released a double album titled “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below“, that showed the uniqueness in the musical styles of the group’s two members. Although Big Boi’s half of the album, Speakerboxxx, produced the number-one hit “The Way You Move” and the moderately successful “Ghetto Musick,” Andres’ The Love Below attracted the most attention from mainstream listeners thanks to the success of the singles “Hey Ya!” and “Roses,” as well as the heavy radio and television airplay of their music videos.
Andres reemerged in the music industry by working with a number of musicians, including Lil Wayne and Jay-Z, and this pattern persisted for the following few years. Andre 3000 made some of the most significant contributions to songs, including “The Real Her” by Drake and “Ride” by Ciara. He did, however, finally start releasing his own music on his SoundCloud account in 2018. Me and My (To Bury Your Parents) was the opening song, and a 16-minute instrumental followed. Andres 3000 and Big Boi continued to work together on songs throughout his solo career, including “Lookin’ 4 Ya.” Outkast performed together on tour and made appearances at more than 40 music festivals in 2014, including Coachella, to commemorate their 20th anniversary.
