Savannah hip hop artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Antwan Patton, one half of the hip hop duo Outkast, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The announcement was made April 27th by the Rock Hall. Patton, professionally known as 'Big Boi,' and André Benjamin, professionally knows as André 3000, join fellow inductees Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Soundgarden and The White Stripes. Patton was born in Savannah and spent the first half of his childhood there. He attended Herschel V. Jenkins High School before moving to Atlanta, where he met Benjamin. They formed Outkast in 1992 and signed with the regionally based record label LaFace Records. Outkast released six studio albums and won six Grammy Awards. To be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, artists' first albums must have been released 25 years earlier and they must be considered musical influences on other artists. The length and depth of their career and their body of work is taken into consideration. And they must have a musical style that's considered innovative with a superior style and technique. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's website describes Outkast as a musical act that 'redefined hip-hop with their genre-blending sound and relentless innovation, proving the 'Dirty South' could compete with rap music's long-standing East and West Coast scenes. Outkast's distinctive sound – a blend of funk, soul, and jazz with introspective storytelling – helped them become one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful hip-hop groups of all-time. With massive tracks like 'Hey Ya!,' Outkast challenged every norm, defied every genre, and pushed every boundary.' The Rock Hall goes on to say, 'The legacy of Outkast is vividly apparent in all pockets of contemporary hitmakers – the introspection of Kendrick Lamar, the afro-futurism of Janelle Monáe, the individuality of Tyler, the Creator – and an entire generation of ATL protégés including T.I., Ludacris, Future, and Migos.' The 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is set for Saturday, November 8 in Los Angeles. It will air live on Disney+. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
