Stankonia is the fourth studio album by André 3000 and Big Boi, known together as OutKast."B.O.B", "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Ms. Jackson" were huge hit singles. "Ms. Jackson" became the group's first single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
For 26-year-old Steve Ellison's deservedly hyped third album, Flying Lotus loosened the reins and set out to make Cosmogramma, which his label, Warp, promoted as a space opera of sorts.

Deluxe four vinyl LP pressing. 25th Anniversary Edition includes the original album plus the Instrumentals which are being released commercially for the first time.
