The albums were also influenced by a return to traditional black music genres, with funk being the most prominent example. On their next two albums, ATLiens (1996) and Aquemini (1998), Outkast experimented with their sound by adding elements of trip hop, soul, and jungle. Buoyed by the success of the single "Player's Ball", the album went platinum by the end of the year and Outkast was named Best New Rap Group of the Year at the 1995 Source Awards. Shortly after graduating, Outkast was signed to the Atlanta-based LaFace label and released their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, in 1994. Benjamin and Patton teamed up to form Outkast. In high school, Benjamin (who was then performing as André) met Antwan " Big Boi" Patton.
