TUESDAY JAM
Brought to you by Tazewell Jones of Bryant Row.
Happy 2-0 to one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time! When Outkast released their sophomoric “ATLiens” in 1996, they blew the lid off conventional conceptions of hip hop. From their emphatic interest in otherworldly sounds and references to their willingness to blend genres new and old – from psychedelia to southern soul – with ATLiens, Outkast had truly arrived on the scene. From all of us at FamousDC, and especially this guy and this guy, happy anniversary, Outkast, and thank you!
