The Dungeon Family is a hip hop/R&B/soul musical collective, based in Atlanta, Georgia and specializing in Southern hip hop with heavy funk and soul influences. The group derives its name from "The Dungeon", the name given to record producer Rico Wade's basement studio where many of the early members of the collective did their first recordings. Wade, Ray Murray, and Sleepy Brown constitute the production/songwriting team Organized Noise, who have produced hits for Dungeon Family members such as OutKast and Goodie Mob, and also for outside artists such as TLC and En Vogue. Popularized by NikeTalks very own moderator AirAnt, ending everything with "DF!"

Only once has the entire collective been brought together for a project: the 2001 collaborative LP Even in Darkness, minus some of the now recruited 2nd Gen artists.
