Bio From All Music Guide
Following the remarkable success of OutKast's Stankonia and its subsequent touring, L.A. Reid at Arista Records gave the Atlanta duo the go-ahead to record as Dungeon Family, a rap supergroup featuring other Atlanta-based rap artists affiliated with OutKast, in hopes of capitalizing on Stankonia's momentum. Dungeon Family also includes members of Goodie Mob and Organized Noize, along with several other lesser-known affiliates like Cool Breeze and Backbone. The supergroup's first album, Even In Darkness (2001), featured production by Organized Noize and Earthtone III, in addition to rapping by the group's numerous members. — Jason Birchmeier

Sleepy's Theme's Bio From All Music Guide
Organized Noize was the primary architect behind virtually the entire "Hotlanta" sound of the 1990s. As the mainstay of the production group, Pat "Sleepy" Brown (whose father was a member of '70s funk band Brick) could lay claim to being one of the most influential behind-the-boards men in music. Along with fellow multi-instrumentalists Rico Wade and Ray Murray, Brown was responsible for hit singles from TLC ("Waterfalls") and En Vogue ("Don't Let Go (Love)"), arguably the two most influential female R&B groups of the decade; and, on the rap side of the divide, he called the shots in the control booth during the creation of the landmark '90s albums of Goodie Mob and OutKast, alongside Organized Noize two of the key cogs in the mammoth Dungeon Family collective. It was Brown's somnolent falsetto, in fact, that could be heard oozing from OutKast's premiere hit "Player's Ball" in 1994. It was no surprise, then, when Brown, Wade, and Murray sought an outlet on the side to record their original music. They first stepped out on their own as three-fifths of Society of Soul, which released a solid 1995 album, Brainchild, that, only partly successfully, attempted to bring the '60s and '70s urban milieu into a '90s context. More successful was their second attempt under the moniker Sleepy's Theme. Released on micro-indie Bang II in 1998, The Vinyl Room added a sleek and pimped-out new chapter to the funk-and-soul storybook that previously had been written by such loose-limbed, mood-driven stalwarts as Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Curtis Mayfield, the Isley Brothers, the Commodores, Earth, Wind & Fire, and the Gap Band. Among the finest soul albums of the year, The Vinyl Room unfortunately was accorded little promotional push, and as a result failed to find much airplay even inside urban markets. - Stanton Swihart

Society Of Soul's Bio From All Music Guide
Coming out of the Atlanta hip-hop scene that also includes OutKast, the Goodie Mob, and producers Organized Noize, the Society of Soul is composed of singers Espraronza and Sleepy Brown (whose father was a member of Brick), plus Big Rube, producer Rico, and Ray. Strongly influenced by '70s funk, the group also combines elements of rap and gospel, the latter courtesy of Espraronza. The group's 1995 debut, Brainchild, was partially recorded at Curtis Mayfield's CurTom studios. - Steve Huey

Organized Noize' Bio From All Music Guide
During the mid- to late '90s, Organized Noize was the preeminent production crew for Atlanta-area contemporary R&B and rap, crafting chart-topping hits like TLC's "Waterfalls" and En Vogue's "Can't Let Go (Love)" as well as critically acclaimed albums for OutKast and Goodie Mob. Though the trio, comprised of Rico Wade, Ray Murray, and Sleepy Brown, made a few attempts to strike out on their own in the mid-'90s as Society of Soul and Sleepy's Theme, they primarily worked behind the scenes, elevating other artists to success with impressive frequency. Organized Noize's output may have slowed over the years, yet their initial work proved incredibly influential upon the burgeoning Atlanta music scene that came to light so brightly just after the turn of the century. - Jason Birchmeier

Sleepy Brown's Bio From All Music Guide
The influence of the '70s on Atlanta crooner Patrick "Sleepy" Brown is manifested in almost everything he does — from the soulful and funk-driven textures overlaying his urban hip-hop sound to his taste in sunglasses and pants. In appearance he might resemble Isaac Hayes, but his smooth falsettos seem closer to that of Curtis Mayfield's voice. To incognizant hip-hop listeners, Sleepy Brown is simply the singer associated with OutKast, emerging in the 2000s on tracks like Big Boi's "The Way You Move" and his own Top 40 single, "I Can't Wait." Nevertheless, he has been active since the early '90s as a member of the renowned Atlanta-based production group Organized Noize. Arguably the South's most influential hip-hop producers, founders Brown, Rico Wade, and Ray Murray not only helped build the Atlanta urban contemporary scene, producing and co-writing songs for groups including TLC ("Waterfalls") and Xscape, but were intrinsically involved in cultivating the groundbreaking music of OutKast, Goodie Mob, and the rest of the Dungeon Family collective, shaping the sound of Southern hip-hop as a whole. Organized Noize continued producing hits well into the 2000s, and as Brown stepped more into the solo spotlight, his vocals often appeared next to their clientele, like Bubba Sparxxx, Nivea, and Ludacris. Brown's canonizing of '70s-era R&B becomes more obvious upon learning that his father is Jimmy Brown, the lead vocalist and saxophonist of funk band Brick. Although Sleepy Brown was raised in Atlanta, he grew up behind the stage, so to speak, because of his father's band, frequently bumping shoulders with the likes of Barry White, Cameo, the Commodores, and Parliament. He was fascinated with music and often used to carry around an old four-track machine and small keyboard everywhere he went. That earnestness appealed to Wade and Murray when they first met Brown around 1990. A few years later, once they were a tight crew, some of their first major accomplishments included introducing OutKast (one of hip-hop's best-selling and critically acclaimed groups) and T-Boz and Left Eye of TLC (one of the most commercially successful girl groups of all time) to executive Antonio "L.A." Reid at a nascent LaFace Records.Brown's upbringing in funk added an integral element to the formula of Organized Noize's work. A talented keyboardist and advocate for live instrumentation, Brown developed into a savvy multi-instrumentalist, mastering various types of synthesizers and electric pianos; however, his inclination for using samplers and drum machines always kept him rooted in hip-hop. So accordingly, producing was his major task in the initial stages of his career, and he mainly saw singing as a hobby (he sang the hook on OutKast's very first single, "Player's Ball"). But Brown occasionally indulged in his funk fixation by leading retro-funk/hip-hop-themed side projects, among them Society of Soul and Sleepy's Theme, where Wade and Murray were part of the backing bands. For the most part, the music produced from these groups went unnoticed. A personal milestone for Brown, however, was the opportunity to work with '70s soul/funk legend Curtis Mayfield a few years before he passed away. Due to the sonic innovations coming out of Organized Noize at the time, Mayfield reached out to them for his last full-length effort, New World Order, in 1996.In the early 2000s, Sleepy Brown gradually ascended from behind the studio boards into the artist spotlight. Initially, his high, sweet vocals were hooks for hit singles, including OutKast's "So Fresh, So Clean" in 2001 and their number one hit "The Way You Move" in 2004. In tandem with the latter, Brown hit the charts with "I Can't Wait," which featured both Big Boi and Dré and appeared on the 2004 soundtrack for Barbershop 2. Brown was all prepared to release his solo debut, For the Grown and Sexy, but his label, DreamWorks Records, was bought out and absorbed into Interscope. He and Interscope did not see eye to eye on the direction of his album, and so, he departed the label, joining Big Boi's reignited Purple Ribbon Records in 2005. With some new recorded songs, Mr. Brown, his full-length solo debut, finally arrived in October 2006. Brown never cut his ties with Organized Noize as shown by Wade's and Murray's heavy contributions to the LP's arrangements and unconventional production of Southern neo-funk/hip-hop grooves; however, Pharrell of the Neptunes chipped in for the single "Margarita." - Cyril Cordor

Cool Breeze' Bio From All Music Guide
A product of the same Georgia-based Dungeon Family crew which also gave rise to hip-hop acts including the Goodie Mob and OutKast, rapper Cool Breeze first surfaced during the mid-'90s, appearing on a series of soundtracks including Set It Off and Hoodlum. After scoring a hit with the infectious "Watch for the Hook," he released his debut solo LP, East Point's Greatest Hits, on Interscope in 1999. - Jason Ankeny

Backbone's Bio From All Music Guide
Affiliated with the Atlanta-based Dungeon Family collective — led by Organized Noize, OutKast, and Goodie Mob — Backbone emerged with his solo debut in the wake of OutKast's Stankonia-fueled crossover success. The album, Concrete Law, hit the streets in 2001, led by the single "5 Deuce, 4 Tre," and featured numerous appearances by the extended Dungeon Family. - Jason Birchmeier

Witchdoctor's Bio From Wikipedia
Erin Johnson, better known as Witchdoctor and one of the first solo rappers to emerge from Atlanta, Georgia, is an established member of Atlanta’s Dungeon Family collective which includes members such as Goodie Mob, OutKast, Cee-Lo, Big Rube, & many others. Witchdoctor owns and operates his own independent record label, Dezonly1 Records and has released six solo albums and a book of poetry, "The Diary of The American Witchdoctor".

Witchdoctor released his first album (A S.W.A.T. Healin’ Ritual) in 1997 on Interscope Records, during a time when credible solo emcees were few and far between in the South. All of the previous albums crafted by Dungeon Family members were group efforts, while Witchdoctor embarked on the weighty task of releasing the 1st solo LP by a member of this respected collective. The result was a certified classic. Anchored by the gritty single "Everyday is a Holiday (Another Muthafuckin' Dollar Day), the album also featured several artists from the Dungeon Family such as Cee-Lo, OutKast, Goodie Mob and Cool Breeze. The album features varied content ranging from street life to spirituality and was produced entirely by Organized Noize Productions.

Witchdoctor’s second album was “9th Wonder of the World” and was released as the first album on his label; “Dezonly1." The term Dezonly1, he says, represents an ebonic reference to "god". The 9th Wonder of the World Album features production by Witchdoctor himself as well as guest appearances by Dungeon Family artists Backbone and others. This independent release marked the beginning of Witchdoctor's career as a labelhead. Subsequently, Dezonly1 Records released four other albums, Gumbo Cookin, KING OF THE BEASTS, The God Iz Good Movement, and Escape 2 New York, which are sold around the world exclusively via MySpace and continue to solidify Witchdoctor's international fan base, making Dezonly1 Records one of the top independent hip hop record labels in the world.

In 2004, PublishAmerica entered into a three book deal with Witchdoctor, publishing his provocative poetry collection, “Diary of the American Witch Doctor,” which covers political, racial, social, sexual and spiritual topics in depth and showcases the author's ability to create meritorious literary works. The seven chapters of the Diary, Head Bussin', Politickin', The Ghetto; The Skruggle, The Sister Section, The Holy Spirit, and Off The Record, organize some of Witchdoctor's most compelling poetry into book form, and has earned rave reviews. Fans eagerly await Witchdoctor's followup books, one of which is slated to be a novel.

In 2007 Witchdoctor signed a deal with Williams Street Records, the independent record label from Cartoon Network's [adult swim], and on October 23, 2007, released The Diary Of An American Witchdoctor, an album which features selections from many of Witchdoctor's independent albums, such as "Suicide Bomber" featuring Ill Nation (from The God Iz Good Movement album) as well as new material. Teaming up with Wu-Tang's Ghostface Killah, Witchdoctor toured the United States on the [adult swim] College Tour, expanding his fan base to include [adult swim] fans and promoting the album, which is highly regarded as a classic.

Witchdoctor is known for his lyrical genius and spends most of his time writing and perfecting his skills as an emcee. One of hip-hop's more well-rounded artists, the content of his music ranges from drugs and strip clubs to politics and spirituality. He is also a talented vocalist who does his own background and can be heard singing on many of his most compelling records. Dezonly1 Records serves as the primary machine through which Witchdoctor funnels his music out to eager fans around the world. A fast worker, Witchdoctor has been known to complete albums in record time and has proven his ability to not only excel as a writer an emcee, but to succeed at crafting complete projects from start to finish, market them and distribute them worldwide.

With an exciting stage performance, Witchdoctor enthralls audiences and has the ability to entertain at various venues for mixed audiences. He delivers his material with clarity and energy and is a highly sought-after live performer. Witchdoctor has earned the name "King of the Beasts," counting himself among the rap game's best lyricists and one of the hardest working men in entertainment.

Over the course of his career, Witchdoctor often felt that he had been "left for dead..." by an industry that he believes felt threatened by the name "Witchdoctor" but as he enjoys his recent resurgence on the strength of his independent label, he looks forward to introducing new material, such as the eagerly anticipated albums GLOBAL WARNING and Mary Magdalene, as well as new artists.
