Aquemini is the third studio album by American hip hop duo OutKast, released on September 29, 1998 through LaFace Records. T In 1994, Outkast released their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, which was recorded when members Big Boi and André 3000 were 18. Bolstered by the success of " Player's Ball", the record established Outkast as prominent figures in the Southern hip hop scene. [2] After the album was certified platinum, LaFace Records gave Outkast more creative control and advanced money for their 1996 follow-up album ATLiens. [3] On ATLiens, André 3000 and Big Boi abandoned the "hard-partying playa characters" of their debut album in favor of personas that were more futuristic, and produced many of the songs on their own for the first time. [4] [5] Critics praised the group's maturing musical style on the record, which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first 2 weeks of release. [6] [7] The single " Elevators (Me & You)" reached number 12 and spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. [8] Wang, Oliver (2003). Classic Material: The Hip-Hop Album Guide. ECW Press. p.134.

Badu gave birth to his first child in November 1997, which presented new artistic inspiration for the rapper. [9] Recording [ edit ] Producer Neal H.
