Outkast (sometimes written as OutKast) was an influential hip hop duo consisting of rappers André 3000 and Big Boi, active from the early 90s through the mid-00s.
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, the members of Outkast are prominent figures in southern hip hop; as The Brothers Chaps are also from the Atlanta area, this may have contributed to their enjoyment of the group. In a 2003 interview, Mike Chapman listed the group as among his favorite musicians.
