OutKast won Best New Rap Group at the Source Awards in 1995. Follow-up singles included the title track and 'Git Up Git Out', a politically charged collaboration with Goodie Mob that was later sampled by Macy Gray for her 1999 hit 'Do Something.' On this early material, both André and Big Boi contrast lyrical content reflecting the lifestyles of pimps and gangsters with politically conscious material commenting on the status of African Americans in the South. Every track on Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was produced by Organized Noize and featured other members of the Dungeon Family. This initial effort is credited with laying the foundation for southern hip hop and is considered a classic by many. Their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, was issued on April 26, 1994.
