Stankonia is the fourth studio album by American hip-hop duo OutKast. It was released on October 31, 2000, by LaFace Records. The album was recorded in the duo’s recently purchased Atlanta recording facility, Stankonia Studios.

Stankonia received universal acclaim from music critics upon its release, and has since been regarded by many to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. It produced three hit singles: “B.O.B“, “Ms. Jackson“, and “So Fresh, So Clean“; while “Ms. Jackson” became the group’s first single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

The “Stankonia20” expanded edition is available now! It includes rare and unreleased remixes to B.O.B., Ms. Jackson, and So Fresh, So Clean. Click here to check it out.

This past Friday one of hip-hop’s most thoughtful MC, Common, released his new album, which is titled “A Beautiful Revolution – Pt.1.” As he has been doing for years, the Chicago native shows up whenever their is turmoil and unrest and offers us some common sense reasoning to hopefully get us back on track.

Though there is a black love song on the project, the album is mostly all about alot of the chaos we see taking place in the divided States of America right now. There are two noteworthy collaborations done with Black Thought and Lenny Kravitz respectively; as well as several tracks featuring with PJ.

In mid September Jamla Records’ leading lady, Rapsody, released “12 Problems,” a song that tackles the issue of police brutality in a unique way. As Americans are now getting ready to vote in their general election on November 3rd, Rapsody and her team have decided that now is the time to share the official visual for the track.
