So Fresh, So Clean

Recorded for OutKast’s Stankonia era with vocal support from Sleepy Brown and production by Organized Noize. The release credits list Big Boi, André 3000, Sleepy Brown, Rico Wade, Ray Murray, and the engineering team that included Bernasky Wall and John Frye. Released as a single from Stankonia, it gave the album one of its most radio-friendly moments and helped push OutKast’s Southern sound deeper into the mainstream. It peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and later went platinum in the United States. It remains one of OutKast’s signature tracks and a durable calling card for the duo’s smooth, playful side. The song’s long afterlife includes a remix with Snoop Dogg and Sleepy Brown and continued recognition as a classic from the Stankonia period.
