Along with Andre 3000, the Atlanta-based group won six Grammys churned out six platinum-plus albums, including their "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below," which sold over 10 million copies. 


But he and Jive Records — the label OutKast is signed under — couldn't come to an agreement on the kind of solo project he wanted to put out, so they eventually parted ways and the 35-year-old ended up signing as a solo artist with Def Jam.

In their pomp it was impossible to get the original nine artists in the same room at the same time, but in recent years these charismatic MCs have been drawn back to the mothership; every time they thought they were out, the group inevitably pulled them back in. 
It's possible that some will know RZA, Method Man and GZA (at one point the group]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:26:00</pubDate></item><item><title>Oh No, The Alchemist unite to form Gangrene</title><link>http://t.love.com/353362747</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://consequenceofsound.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/decon_gangrene_press1_hi1-490x326-e1280348513212-260x260.jpg"><br>While neither The Alchemist nor Oh No have garnered the attention of hip-hop producers like RZA, Bomb Squad or DJ Premier, the two have found their place among the West Coast's hip-hop royalty. 
Oh No, aka Michael Jackson, was born into a musical family — the son of singer Otis Jackson, and brother of Madlib. 
Plus he's putting together a pretty good resume, recently handling production duties for De La Soul and Murs.

But after his recently released album, "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty," debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200, the Atlanta-based rapper doesn't think he'll have that problem anymore.
