Goodie Mob is calling it a career. Ceelo Green made the surprising announcement via Instagram on May 4, sharing that the four-man crew of himself, Khujo, T-Mo and Big Gipp have decided to go their separate ways while acknowledging this year is the 30th anniversary of the quartet’s debut album, Soul Food.
“We are living in an amazing time and an ironic one as well,” Ceelo wrote. “Our #brothers @outkast have just been officially inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame…..where they belong. But I also have a bittersweet announcement to make, this is @goodiemob’s 30th year anniversary if you didn’t know, yet I am also going to announce for the first time this will be our #farewell.”
The group came together after meeting Atlanta production gurus Organized Noize. T-Mo and Khujo were a duo known as The Lumberjacks; Gipp and Ceelo were solo artists. The individual members all appeared on OutKast’s 1994 debut southernplayalisticadillacmusik; and at the suggestion of the crew’s associates, they came together to form Goodie Mob.
In his post, Ceelo also shared that there are plans for a farewell album and tour.
“The fans know that we’ve gone through a great deal together so, for no reasons in particular let’s just call it ‘natural causes’ and we all agree that it’s #time we are about to work on a farewell album and tour God willing,” he explained. “So for those of you who truly have love for the mob and @dungeonfamily make sure that if we happen to be somewhere near you come and see and support . Go follow @khujogoodie @tmogoodie @gippgoodie we all appreciate all of the love over the years. Stay tuned for details.. we did it for #atlanta.”
The news comes during a bittersweet time for the extended Dungeon Family collective. OutKast was recently announced as 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, just over a year after the death of D.F. cornerstone Rico Wade. As one-third of Organized Noize, Wade was instrumental in bringing the Atlanta collective together; it was his mother’s basement that was famously dubbed “The Dungeon” and where the crew honed their sound. His mother, Beatrice Wade, died in October 2024.
And Goodie Mob has gone on extended hiatuses before. The quartet splintered after 1999’s World Party, with CeeLo pursuing a solo career. Gipp would follow suit after 2004’s One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show. The four members all reunited in 2013 for Age Against The Machine and followed it with Survival Kit in 2020.
