ATL Hip-hoppers Goodie Mob To Release New Record

The reunited hip-hop group Goodie Mob will release its new studio album One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show on June 29. Considered to be one of the most influential hip-hop acts to come out of the South, the Atlanta-based group is known for its pioneering production (provided by Organized Noise) and lyrical content that focuses on serious themes. Along with close friends OutKast, Goodie Mob helped prove hip-hop was more than a strictly East Coast/West Coast phenomenon.

One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show is the group’s first album since it downsized from four members to three, following the departure of Cee-Lo. The remaining members (Khujo Goodie, Big Gipp and T-Mo Goodie) released this statement about the split: "We wish Cee-Lo much success, but...one monkey don't stop no show. The Goodie Mob is a movement—comprised of thousands of fans, in the streets. This is real thrill music; it's down south southern cookin'.”

The new album’s first single “Play Your Flutes” features Sleepy Brown, with a cameo in the video by Big Boi of OutKast. For a limited time, Goodie Mob’s new CD will be packaged with a 40-minute DVD documentary The History of Goodie Mob, featuring interviews with group members as well as Big Boi, Sleepy Brown and Organized Noise.
