A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year.

In the record

André Lauren Benjamin (born May 27, 1975), known professionally as André 3000, is an American rapper, singer, record producer and actor. The birth-card coordinate for May 27 is the 5 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of André 3000's 2004 Album of the Year — Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.

Album of the Year record

André 3000 is on the 2004 Album of the Year list for Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, billed as OutKast at ceremony 46 (https://www.grammy.com/awards/categories/album-of-the-year/2004/). André 3000 (Q448837, Wikipedia “André 3000”) appears here as billed with OutKast. The billed act string on those wins is OutKast. Albums in this pack for André 3000: 2004 Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Birth date 1975-05-27 is the Wikipedia infobox day for André 3000, verified against Wikidata P569 1975-05-27 (match). This page does not invent a childhood or a private address for André 3000. It only names the calendar coordinate for May 27 and the Album of the Year albums already listed for André 3000.

The 5 of Clubs coordinate

André 3000 was born May 27, 1975 (1975-05-27). Month 5 and day 27 give solar value 18, which is the 5 of Clubs (The Dynamic Innovator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1975 is unused, so André 3000's 1975 birth year does not move the card. The 5 of Clubs does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year and is not a verdict on André 3000. Quoted system copy for the 5 of Clubs, not a biography of André 3000: You pressure-test a stale idea in public and let the better one win. Your mind craves novelty, variety, and freedom. You get bored easily and need constant stimulation. You're the one who disrupts stale thinking.

André 3000 in the public record

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, he is one half of the hip-hop duo Outkast along with rapper Big Boi, which they formed in 1992. Often recognized for his early use of rap-singing, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. In 2025, Benjamin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Outkast. As part of Outkast, the duo's six studio albums were each met with critical and commercial success, spawning hit singles including "Ms. Jackson", "Roses", "So Fresh, So Clean", and "Elevators (Me & You)", among others. Their fifth, a double album titled Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003), contained a solo single performed by Benjamin: "Hey Ya!", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and won Best Urban/Alternative Performance at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards. After the duo split in 2007, Benjamin became less active as a solo act compared to Big Boi, although he made several highly acclaimed guest appearances on releases by other artists; such activity has earned him an additional three Grammy Awards—from eight nominations—as a solo act. Benjamin signed with Epic Records to release his debut studio album, New Blue Sun (2023), an instrumental recording showcasing his performances on flute.
