Outkast (stylized as OutKast) was an American hip hop duo based in East Point, Georgia, consisting of Atlanta native André "André 3000" Benjamin (formerly known as Dré) and Savannah, Georgia-born Antwan "Big Boi" Patton.[1] They were originally known as Two Shades Deep but later changed the group's name to OutKast. The group's original musical style was a mixture of Dirty South and G-funk.[1] Since then, however, funk, soul, rock, electronic music, spoken word poetry, jazz and blues elements have been added to the group's musical palette.

It's Oukast then Luda.

Goodie Mob(mainly C-Low Green) deserves a mention. Also Lil Jon deserves a mention.
 
Gucci is from Alabama. Just made his name in ATL.

Migos needs to keep being consistent but worth mentioning. Same goes for Future.
 
There’s only one correct answer and that’s “Outkast”.

An album that went diamond and was also awarded Grammy for “Album of the Year”. Changed the musical dynamic and brought the spotlight to Atlanta and the South.
