Playlist: ATLiens (25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
Today marks 28 years since OutKast’s ATLiens was released1. The album debuted at #2 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and it sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first 2 weeks (it has since gone double platinum). It’s one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time and set the duo on a path towards even bigger and more expansive albums centered on themes of Blackness, Afrofuturism, life in ghetto, and self-observation.
