| - American hip-hop group from Memphis, Tennessee.Established 1991 in Memphis with DJ Paul (3) (Paul Beauregard), Juicy J (Jordan Houston) and Lord Infamous (Ricky Dunigan). The original name for the hip hop group was %22Backyard Posse%22, followed shortly after by %22Triple Six Mafia%22 and they originally did %22horrorcore%22 music. The group formed through releasing several EP's from their own record company with Nick Scarfo, Prophet Entertainment, later launching their own label, Hypnotize Minds. During their early career, they also propelled the careers of several other rappers. Eventually added before the release of %22Mystic Stylez%22 were rappers Koopsta Knicca (Robert Cooper), Gangsta Boo (Lola Mitchell), and Crunchy Black (Darnell Carlton).Evolving slowly but steadily over the years, Three 6 Mafia (whose name is a reference to the biblical number 666), began as an exploitative, horror-themed underground hardcore rap sensation yet went on to enjoy some mainstream success years later, eventually winning an Oscar and scoring some major hits. The group's membership varied from album to album, with the one constant being the duo of Juicy J and DJ Paul (3), who are producers as well as rappers. Other notable Mafia affiliates at one time or another include Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, Lord Infamous, Koopsta Knicca, La' Chat, Project Pat, Killa Klan Kaze, and Indo G. The production acumen of Juicy and Paul also brought about a number of side projects including Tear da Club Up Thugs, Hypnotize Camp Posse and Da Headbussaz, and independent label ventures; the guys initially did business as Prophet Entertainment, later as Hypnotize Minds, working out deals with Relativity Records, Loud Records, and Columbia -- all in turn.

| - Three 6 Mafia, now known as Da Mafia 6ix, is a hip-hop group originally from Memphis, Tennessee, signed to Sony Music Entertainment under the Columbia Records imprint. Formed in 1991 as Backyard Posse then later Triple 6 Mafia, by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous and Juicy J. The group later included three more members, Crunchy Black, Koopsta Knicca and Gangsta Boo, all of whom were added shortly before the release of their debut album Mystic Stylez. The group created their own label, Hypnotize Minds, where they launched the careers of many Memphis rappers, such as Chrome, Frayser Boy, Project Pat (Juicy J's older brother), Lil Wyte and La Chat. Their 2005 song %22It's Hard out Here for a Pimp%22 from the 2005 film Hustle and Flow won Best Original Song at the 78th Academy Awards. Three 6 Mafia have been described as horrorcore, crunk, Southern hip hop , hardcore hip hop and gangsta rap.The group released their debut album Mystic Stylez in 1995 through Prophet Entertainment, a record label they created but have since relinquished control of. Their musical style—which initially featured dark, menacing beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a less dark style. The group has also had numerous lineup changes, and now consists of original member DJ Paul, Koopsta Knicca and Crunchy Black. Nonetheless, they have cultivated a sizable and diverse cult following that has only increased since their Oscar win. Two of their albums are RIAA-rated platinum: When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1 (2000) and Most Known Unknown (2005), the latter featured their well-known single %22Stay Fly%22, which is said to have kick-started their rise to fame and the mainstream. The group's worldwide album sales stand at 5.5 million.
