OutKast Pay Loving Tribute to Late Producer Rico Wade: ‘Without Rico Wade There Would Be No OutKast’
OutKast's Big Boi and André 3000 paid loving tribute to late producer Rico Wade on 30th anniversary of their landmark debut album that he co-produced.
“The first time we met Rico [Wade] of Organized Noize, we had the ‘Scenario’ instrumental on and we just rapped damn near the whole song, non-stop,” OutKast’s André 3000 wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend. Wade is considered one of the architects of Southern rap thanks to his role as one-third of the songwriting and production team Organized Noize, whose members also included Sleepy Brown and Ray Murray. Another tribute post honored the duo’s landmark debut — which included their breakout hit, “Player’s Ball” — and spotlighted pics of Wade in the studio with the pair and posing with the entire extended Dungeon Family crew.
