Speakerboxxx The Love Below



         


Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is the name of the 2003 double album by the two members of the rap group OutKast, each disc a solo project. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below won the 2003 Grammy for Album of the Year. Speakerboxxx has Big Boi performing tracks more representative of the older OutKast, while The Love Below, the solo project of Andre 3000, is performed in a smoother, calmer style which has earned him some comparisons to Prince.

The album was released on 23 September 2003 on Arista Records, on compact disc, vinyl LP, and audio cassette.
