As part of Outkast, the duo released six successful studio albums which spawned numerous hit singles including "Ms. Jackson", "Roses", "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Elevators (Me & You)", among others. The duo's fifth release, a double album titled Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003), contained a solo record performed by Patton: "The Way You Move" (featuring Sleepy Brown), which peaked the Billboard Hot 100 and was named the 22nd most successful song of the 2000s decade by Billboard. After the duo split in 2007, Patton promptly pursued a solo career with the release of his debut album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty in July 2010, which was met with critical acclaim and reached number three on the Billboard 200. He followed up with his second and third studio albums, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (2012) and Boomiverse (2017), which were released to continued acclaim and modest commercial performance.
