Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, he is best known for being one-half of the Southern hip hop duo Outkast, which he formed in 1992 alongside fellow Atlanta-based rapper Big Boi. Benjamin is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Outkast, the duo&#8217;s six studio albums were each met with critical and commercial success, spawning hit singles including &#8220;Ms. Jackson&#8221;, &#8220;Roses&#8221;, &#8220;So Fresh, So Clean&#8221;, and &#8220;Elevators (Me &amp; You)&#8221;, among others. Their fifth, a double album titled Speakerboxxx\/The Love Below (2003), contained a solo single performed by Benjamin: &#8220;Hey Ya!&#8221;, which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy Award for Best Urban\/Alternative Performance. After the duo split in 2007, Benjamin became less active as a solo act compared to Big Boi, although he made several highly-acclaimed guest appearances on releases by other artists; such activity has earned him an additional three Grammy Awards among eight nominations as a solo artist. Benjamin signed with Epic Records to release his debut studio album, New Blue Sun (2023), an instrumental recording showcasing his performances on flute.<\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/instagram.com\/volks.geist<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/tiktok.com\/@volks.geist<br \/>\nphilip@volksgeist.org for business<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/volksgeist.org<\/p>\n<p>#volksgeist #andre3000 #outkast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The True Story of Andre 3000.
