===1991β98: Early career with Goodie Mob=== Along with [[Big Gipp]], [[T-Mo]], and [[Khujo]], Green was an original member of the [[Atlanta]] hip hop group Goodie Mob. He was the youngest of the four.<ref name=ALLMUSIC>{{cite web|last=Birchmeier|first=Jason|url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p458353/biography|pure_url=yes}}|title=allmusic Biography|publisher=Allmusic.com|access-date=August 23, 2010}}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The Goodie Mob was a part of the Atlanta rap collective the [[Dungeon Family]], which also included [[Outkast]]. Goodie Mob appeared on two tracks on OutKast's 1994 debut album ''[[Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik]]'', with Green providing vocals for "Call of da Wild" and "[[Git Up, Git Out]]". Goodie Mob released their debut album, ''Soul Food'', in 1995. The album received much critical praise as a pioneering record for the emerging [[Southern rap]] scene. It featured a distinctive soulful southern sound by production team [[Organized Noize]]. During this time, Green also contributed backing vocals to [[TLC (group)|TLC]]'s hit 1995 song "[[Waterfalls (TLC song)|Waterfalls]]".<ref>{{cite news|author=Jeff Benjamin|url=http://www.fuse.tv/videos/2013/10/tlc-waterfalls-interview-ceelo|title=TLC Reflect on No. 1 Hit "Waterfalls," Detail Cee Lo's Involvement β Exclusive Interview|publisher=Fuse.tv|date=October 22, 2013|access-date=July 19, 2014}}</ref> The group's second album, ''[[Still Standing (Goodie Mob album)|Still Standing]]'', came out in 1998 and also received much critical praise.
