wenty years ago on September 23, 2003 Outkast released their epic 5th studio album which went on to become one of the top selling Hip-Hop albums of all time. The double album is two solo projects representing each member's respective musical vision at the time.  Speakerboxxxis Big Boi's southern Hip-Hop album and more akin to the prior albums with Andre joining in some verses and contributing to production. The Love Below is Andre 3000's exploration of Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, Jazz and Pop. Musically the production was handled by the artists along with a few new contributors, a departure from working with Organized Noize on earlier Outkast albums.  After the release of two hit singles from each member "The Way You Move" and "Hey Ya", the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, a first for Outkast after three prior #2 debuts.  

For the 20th Anniversary Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is being reissued for the first time on colored vinyl with a commemorative 20th anniversary OBI limited to 1000 copies.
