Organized Noize Frontman Rico Wade states,

“The original vision of Organized Noize was based on making the music that supplied the Dungeon Family collective with unique sounds that were true to who we are and where we come from; while complementing the acts individually.”

“Because we have three minds working together we are able to be outside of where one person can be creatively most of the time; which in turn, allows us to appeal to more people,” adds Ray Murray, Organized Noize’s king of beats.

The hit-makers have outsold every other hip hop movement that has come out of Atlanta with accolades that include, but are not limited to, recognizing the talent of a teen-aged group called Outkast who eventually garnered a Diamond certified album for Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, and producing TLC’s biggest hit, “Waterfalls.”

The film boasts appearances that include: LA Reid, Big Boi, Andre’ Benjamin, Ludacris, CeeLo Green, 2 Chainz, Future, Big Gipp and Sean “Puffy” Combs who directed the first Outkast video and speaks on Organized Noize’s influence on the culture exclaiming, “I will protest if they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

“We couldn’t tell the story of Organized Noize and truly capture what the Art of Organized Noize represents without including the artists and executives who helped their creative vision come to fruition,” explains one of the documentary’s producers and Organized Noize manager Orlando McGhee.

The trio continues to work on new music today and is currently in the studio with Outkast’s Big Boi. They have recently worked with J. Cole and Dom Kennedy and were instrumental in the launch of Future’s career.
