FULL EDIT: How Outkast Set Southern Hip Hop Free (Patreon)

I've covered a lot of Hip Hop based in New York, but this week we're heading to the South - specifically diving into Outkast's 1996 album "ATLiens"

We'll see how their style and flow changed between their first album and this one, what happened in between, dive into the production, the lyrics, the flow, and see how this album contributed to the rise of the Dirty South.

NOTE: This video is 2 minutes longer than the YouTube version
