To celebrate Black Music Month and highlight the distinct impact of Atlanta’s music scene, six-time Grammy winner and rapper cis becoming a Host on Airbnb for the first time. Later this month, fans will get the chance to experience a piece of music history by booking an overnight stay at “The Dungeon” house, named after its basement studio where pioneering albums like Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik were made.
From our partners:
It’s impossible to deny the impact of Atlanta artists on the popularity of hip hop. In particular, The Dungeon Family – a collective that includes Outkast, Goodie Mob and Organized Noize – helped establish Atlanta as a hotbed for talent. Despite their global imprint, the place where The Dungeon Family’s music came to life has never been accessible to fans — until now.
“Atlanta is my home, and I grew up with The Dungeon Family in this house. We would spend hours hanging out in the basement, writing rhymes and putting together beats at all hours of the night. Since purchasing the home, I’ve been excited to open its doors and welcome the next generation of artists to the space that inspired countless songs.”
Big Boi, six-time Grammy winner and rapper
Big Boi will host three overnight stays at “The Dungeon” occurring on June 29, July 1, and July 3 for only $25* a night — in honor of the 25th anniversary of Outkast’s release of “ATLiens.” During their stays, guests will be steeped in the Atlanta community and hip-hop history, with experiences including:
- Guided access to the basement of the house, a ‘90s relic where Outkast and Goodie Mob recorded some of their breakout hits. The walls still bear the signatures of the artists who got their start there!
- Kicking back and playing records in rooms styled to commemorate key Atlanta locations that inspired The Dungeon Family’s tracks.
- Access to a state of the art in-home studio, outfitted with Yamaha audio equipment.
- Arriving in style with local transportation (within Atlanta city limits)** to and from the house in an Escalade.
- Discovering surprises throughout the house that are remnants of The Dungeon Family’s illustrious past and lasting impact on music today.
