From his visceral storytelling to his seemingly limitless flows and impeccable imagination, 3Stacks has crafted an irreplaceable niche as a lyricist and icon. He\u2019s half of one the most genre bending collectives in music and has received critical praise from Nas, Jay Z, Scarface, Eminem, the list goes on. But since he and his partner Big Boi changed Hip Hop as a duo, many are reluctant to crown him the greatest of all time because he has yet to release a solo rap album.
