Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on January 24, 1970)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Sleepy Brown—the smoothest maestro behind Organized Noize! Without your soulful grooves, OutKast wouldn't have us shaking it like a Polaroid picture, Goodie Mob might've missed some soul food seasoning, and TLC's waterfalls would've flowed just a little less smoothly. Your beats are timeless classics that keep heads nodding year after funky year.

Here's hoping today you get more rest than usual—after all these years of crafting hits for Atlanta royalty (and beyond), you've earned at least one nap-filled birthday celebration. Keep bringing those silky hooks; music needs its favorite sleepy genius wide awake!
