Outkast is being honored with a Hip Hop 50 statue to mark the 25th anniversary of their album, “Aquemini.”
The exclusive collectible statue was revealed on Instagram this past Thursday, October 12.
New York-born sculptor and animator, Steven Cartoccio, better known as Concrete Jungle, has a rich history of crafting collectible statues featuring hip-hop icons such as Nas, Wu-Tang, Rakim, Redman, and The Notorious B.I.G. Now, in collaboration with Outkast, Mass Appeal, and Hip Hop 50, Cartoccio unveils a 15-pound statue celebrating Outkast’s iconic albums. This masterpiece features interchangeable heads for both André 3000 and Big Boi, epitomizing the duo’s musical legacy.
The statue portrays the ATL duo in their signature styles, seated atop a spacecraft. Below, a purple Cadillac, the crown from Outkast’s emblem, and a graffiti-marked I-75 highway sign pointing towards their hometown of ATL are some of the distinctive features showcased.
For those interested in owning a piece of this homage, pre-orders are now live, with deliveries expected in mid-2024. Fans can secure a signed version by André 3000 and Big Boi for $750, or opt for the unsigned variant at $550.
