It has been 15 years since Atlanta supergroup Dungeon Family released Even In Darkness. The album, which is the group’s lone LP, was released in 2001 and fulfilled Andre 3000’s statement at the 1995 Source Awards that “The South got somethin’ to say.”
The LP’s anniversary is to be recognized by Sony Legacy Recordings with a special edition vinyl release scheduled to drop September 9. The standard edition is available for pre-order at Amazon or fans can get a white vinyl at their favorite independent record store on the day of its release.
Even In Darkness provided Hip Hop fans 14 tracks including “Trans DF Express” and “6 Minutes (Dungeon Family It’s On)” and continued the artistic movements of Organized Noize, OutKast, Goodie Mob and Killer Mike.
Members of Dungeon Family are set to do a reunion performance at ONE Musicfest September 10 in the group’s hometown. Those listed on the bill include Big Boi, Cee-Lo Green, Big Gipp, Sleepy Brown, Killer Mike, Rico Wade and Witchdoctor.
The group’s legacy was revisited in the documentary The Art of Organized Noize, which chronicled the work of the production trio that helped craft the Dungeon Family sound, and then that for OutKast and others.
Ceel-lo only doing it cuz his career to downward slide. OutKast seems to have either forgotten, abandoned or simply feel they’re too big for their old crew. And no mention of the key ppl in that crew Just doesn’t have a genuine feel to it.
Doing what? The album came out 15 years ago. CeeLo likely has shit to do with a special edition vinyl coming out. Nor does Outkast or GoodieMobb or any other rapper on there.
You do know that Big boi is part of outkast right???
i think ill be buying this.
a classic 4eva. big shot out to DF. Grab ya ticket
