In April 2016, Organized Noize, the Atlanta-based production crew made up of Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown were featured on the show.
“A studio used by acts like Outkast & Future, ‘The Dungeon’ in this southern city started in a suburban basement,” asked Trebek. The answer is Atlanta, which contestant David correctly guesses. Organized Noize, who've crafted beats for legends like Goodie Mob, OutKast and many others, shared their excitement for the moment, along with Big Boi, on social media.
