A Dungeon Family exposé: "The Untold Story..."

Deep history on the Deep South's best collective

Outkast/Dungeon Family

Most hip hop fans remember when Southern rap started making a push for legitimacy. It started underground with the Geto Boys and the artists on Rap-A-Lot, but later moved into the Deep South, and more specifically into Georgia; Atlanta to be precise. And what lived there was a mass of talent that would usher in a sea change in hip hop, a new direction and collectively they were known as the Dungeon Family. Separately, their ranks included Outkast, Goodie Mob and a group of soon-to-be super-producers that would mold the Southern sound. It's kind of unreal how many good artists were in the same space and working together. So, if any of this interests you or you already know most of the story and want to know more, check out this Vibe profile. Enjoy.
