'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' is the fifth studio album by American hip hop duo Outkast, released on September 23, 2003.
'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' gave the group their first US Number 1 album and singles 'The Way You Move' and 'Roses' brought the band more success. Notching up record sales of over 23 million, OutKast stand as one of the most popular hip hop stars of their era, mashing together an eclectic range of styles and paving the way for a host of Southern acts like Missy Elliott, Gnarls Barkley and Lil Wayne.
One of the most original takes on the concept of an album on our shelves. Two completely contradictory records that perfectly sum up the split personality known as OutKast. Big Boi knocks us over again and again with socially conscious rap mixed with straight up Dirty South party bangers and a stellar line-up (Lil Jon, Killer Mike and Jay Z all feature). Andre 3000’s sexual exploration into p-funk inspired R&B, 60’s pop and curvaceous jazz melodies is tantalising. That’s two essentials for the price of one.
