OutKast - Aquemini

Outkast returned in 1998 with their third album Aquemini. The record features the singles "Rosa Parks", "Skew It on the Bar-B" and "Da Art of Storytellin' (Pt. 1)". They named the album a portmanteau of the two performers' Zodiac signs: Aquarius (Big Boi) and Gemini (André 3000), which is indicative of the album's recurring theme of the differing personalities of the two members.

Aquemini is a blessing of an album that stands tall among the best bodies of work music has ever seen. It rests at the pinnacle of creativity, execution and emotion. Their perspective is grounded and responsible, intentionally avoiding hardcore clichés. Their distinctive vocal deliveries have matured, with a recognizably Southern rhythmic bounce but loads more technique than their territorial peers. Those flows grace some of the richest and most inventive hip-hop tracks of the decade.

Heavyweight TRIPLE vinyl produced in 2023 by Arista Records. Made in Mexico.
