Outkast "Atliens"

AT Liens is the second studio album by American hip hop duo OutKast, released on August 27, 1996, by LaFace Records.

The album was very well received by music critics upon it's release, who praised the record's lyrical content. It has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of two million copies in the United States. The album spawned the singles "Elevators (Me & You)", "AT Liens", and "Jazzy Belle". Since it's release, AT Liens has been listed by several magazines and critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.
