OutKast, Goodie Mob, and Killer Mike Hold Dungeon Family Reunion in Honor of Rico Wade

The Atlanta rap scene came together in a big way this past weekend to honor the late Rico Wade with a Dungeon Family reunion. OutKast, Goodie Mob, Killer Mike, and other ATL legends gathered for a cookout at Wade’s old family home, known as the Dungeon, where many iconic records were created.

Wade, a pioneering producer and one-third of Organized Noize, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 52 from heart failure. In the wake of his death, tributes poured in from friends and collaborators, highlighting his immense contributions to Hip Hop.

Big Boi of OutKast shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, calling Wade a “Big Angel Energy” and praising his role in shaping the careers of many artists. CeeLo Green even purchased Wade’s former home for around $1 million, with plans to turn it into a museum to preserve the rich musical history of the Dungeon Family.

The reunion was a bittersweet moment for all those in attendance, as they celebrated Wade’s legacy while mourning his loss. The gathering served as a reminder of the impact he had on the Atlanta music scene and the lasting influence of his work. The Dungeon Family reunion was a fitting tribute to a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of Southern Hip Hop.
