three 6 mafia - ridin' spinners

Three 6 Mafia (formerly known as Triple Six Mafia) is an American hip hop, consisting of two members. The group was formed in 1991 by brothers DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, and Juicy J. They were later joined by fellow Memphis rappers Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, and Crunchy Blac. The group released many mixtapes by members and non members on Prophet Entertainment before releasing their debut album Mystic Stylez. Their early sound was a mix of both crunk and horrorcore, influenced by N.W.A. as well as various Southern hip hop rappers. They are the first hip hop group to win an Academy Award. The group started in 1991 in Memphis with three members: DJ Paul (Paul Beauregard), Juicy J (Jordan Houston), and Lord Infamous (Ricky Dunigan). The original name for the hip hop group was Backyard Posse, followed shortly after by Triple Six Mafia. The group formed through release of many EPs from their own record company with Nicky Scarfo, Prophet Entertainment, later launching their own label, Hypnotize Minds Records; during their early career, they also propelled the careers of several other rappers. At this point in the group's evolution, having signed to a major label and having scored an admirable hit single, group leaders Juicy J and DJ Paul began extending their brand. They started by releasing group member solo albums (Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca), non-group member solo albums (Project Pat, The Kaze) and also compilation-styled albums (Tear Da Club Up Thugs, Hypnotize Camp Posse, Da Headbussaz, and Prophet Posse). Around this time, they also released collections of tracks from earlier years (Underground Vol. 1: (1991-1994), Underground Vol. 2: Club Memphis, Underground Vol. 3: Kings of Memphis).
