This weeks mix from DJ Phaze takes a trip down 85 south to the “dirty dirty” to give some well-deserved props to the pioneers of southern hip hop. If it wasn’t for the Dungeon Family, I’m not sure the south would have the voice or respect that they’ve come to enjoy today.
From the core production team of Organized Noize (and their many credits: EnVogue, TLC, Ludacris etc.), to the multi-generational spin offs: Outkast, Goodie Mob, Big Rube, Joi, Sleepy Brown, Society of Soul, TI, Backbone, Cool Breeze, Witchdoctor, Mr. DJ, Killer Mike (aka Mike Bigga) Bubba Sparxxx and others, they’re responsible for over $20 million dollars in sales.
Vibe magazine had a great piece earlier this year chronicling the history of the family along with their various trials and tribulations. For the latest exclusives and all things DF related, you can check out Maurice Garland, SFTA or keep up with them on twitter. For those who know, this quote pretty much sums up how we feel:
“There’s no other crew like the Dungeon Family.” – T-Boz (TLC)

Props and Pounds on the Dungeon Family celebration. I for one can testify that majority of my hip-hop is from the DF catalog. They gave southern hip hop credibility! However there were some “unsung” studio musicians that lent a hand to help shape the sound. People like bass groover and Berklee grad “Preston Crump”! There are others…keyboardists, background singers,guitarists,etc. DF like T-Boz said “no other crew like ’em!”
