THREE 6 MAFIA BIO

Three 6 Mafia (formerly Triple 6 Mafia) is an American rap group originating from Memphis, Tennessee.
Formed in 1991 by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, and Juicy J, they shortly thereafter recruited fellow Memphian
rappers Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, and Crunchy Black. The group also frequently collaborates with Project
Pat (the brother of Juicy J) to the extent that he is often considered a group member.
Their 2005 song, "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp", won Best Original Song at the 78th Academy Awards.

The group released their horrorcore debut album Mystic Stylez in 1995 through Prophet Entertainment,
a record label they created but have since relinquished control over. Their musical style—which
initially featured dark beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a more mainstream sound.
They are currently working on Last 2 Walk, their eighth studio album scheduled for release in 2008.
