Three 6 Mafia (formerly Backyard Posse and Triple Six Mafia) are a Grammy Award and Academy Award-winning American hip hop 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 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 ninth studio album scheduled for release in 2008. They were also working on a collaboration album with Houston rap duo UGK called Underground Mafia but due to the death of Pimp C they were never able to finish it.
