Aquemini, the third studio album by Outkast, was released in 1998 and received critical acclaim. The group transitioned from the minimalist production style of ATLiens to the incorporation of live instruments, drawing inspiration from 1970s funk, Southern soul, gospel, country, psychedelic rock, and other genres. The fusion of various musical influences and the exploration of diverse lyrical themes made this album a commercial success; it is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Available on pink splatter vinyl "jelly bloom."
