My Take
Sleepy Brown is one of my favorite kinds of artists: the architect behind the sound rather than the face on the poster. As one-third of Organized Noize, the Savannah-born producer helped shape the entire Atlanta aesthetic, crafting hits for OutKast, Goodie Mob, and TLC. Co-writing TLC's "Waterfalls," a number-one Billboard smash in the summer of 1995, would be a career for most people; for him it is one entry in a deep catalog. I love the warm, soulful texture he brings, and I think his fingerprints on Southern hip-hop are far more important than his name recognition suggests.
