Read moreThis Halloween marked 15 years since OutKast released Stankonia, their certified quadruple-platinum Grammy-winning fourth album. So while we were kicking it with Organized Noize inside Stankonia Studios for Rhythm Roulette, we had to find out how OutKast’s millennial tour-de-force came together. When Organized Noize worked on “Waterfalls” by TLC, or new tracks by Goodie Mobb and OutKast, they did so at Bobby Brown’s studio Boss Town. Over the years, OutKast recorded so many of their biggest songs there that they bought the place and renamed it Stankonia. While most of that 2000 album was self-produced by Organized Noize and Mr. DJ (aka Earthtone), Organied Noize brought their signature funk to the hit single “So Fresh, So Clean.” Rico and Sleepy recall how the hook came to Rico, appropriately enough, in the shower. And while Big Boi loved the track right away, Three Stacks wasn’t so sure at first. “I knew that it was a record for Big,” says Sleepy. “In my mind it was an OutKast record,” Rico says. “I was surprised.” But then he got a late night call from Andre 3000.
Read moreWhat can be said about Organized Noize that isn’t already evident in the legacy of their production discography? Paving the way for breakout acts like TLC, OutKast, and Goodie Mob, there’s no denying Ray Murray, Rico Wade, and Sleepy Brown are the foundation of Atlanta hip hop. On the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette, we join ONP at the iconic Stankonia Studios. While the trio came up making sample-based hip hop, they quickly learned the real secret was creating everything from scratch (not to mention those royalty checks get a little fatter). However, they welcomed our challenge with such conviction that we knew nothing less than a banger was coming out of the studio by the end of the night. Pulling from the Four Tops, Thin Lizzy, and Millie Jackson, ONP had to eventually set the records aside because there was too much to sample. While the final result is an 808-heavy, atmospheric production stamped with the crew’s signature soulful grooves, we got the sense they’ll be saving this one for something special, as they quickly told their engineer to stop recording once Sleepy laid down the bassline. The records were quickly tucked away; Ray, Rico, and Sleepy smirked as if they’d stumbled upon buried treasure. Trust, a fire was sparked in the studio than night. Here’s to hoping it isn’t extinguished anytime soon.
