| - Three 6 Mafia (formerly Triple 6 Mafia) is an Academy-Award winning 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). 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 underground album Smoked Out, Loced Out in 1994 through Prophet Entertainment, a record label they created but have since relinquished control over. Their musical style—which initially featured dark, menacing beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a more mainstream sound. The group has also had numerous lineup changes, and now consists only of DJ Paul and Juicy J. Nonetheless, they have cultivated a sizeable and diverse cult following that has only increased since their Oscar win. They most recently released their ninth studio album Last 2 Walk on June 24, 2008. They have reunited [without Juicy J - yet Juicy & Prooject Pat are hidden guests on the Posse Song] under the moniker "Da Mafia Six" - putting out the mixtape "6ix Commandments", after it's releases Lord Infamous passed away and Gangsta Boo left the group. As Da Mafia 6ix they did a collaboration album with Insane Clown Posse on Psychopathic Records "The Killjoy Club - Reindeer Games" followed by the follow-up to "Da 6ix Commandments" - the full length "Watch Wut U Wish" in 2015. DJ Paul went back in the vaults and unearthed unused or undergound verses from Lord Infamous and remastered them, and seamlessly adds Lord Infamous posthumously to the majority of the tracks on "Watch Wut U Wish." Ever since reforming as Da Mafia 6ix they've gone back to their darker "devil shit" style that made them so popular in the first place [Underground Tape Era/Mystic Stylez - Till The Smoke Clears]. DJ Paul also recently remastered two of their underground tapes - "DJ Paul & Lord Infamous - Come Wit Me To Hell Part 1 {Remastered}" and "Underground Vol. 16: The Original Masters ["For Da Summa of '94]. Not to mention announcing that he's working on a full length new solo album to be released on Insane Clown Posse's Psychopathic Records. Ganngsta Boo left Da Mafia 6ix with no beef they just "Thought it would be best for everyone invollved if I left." Going on to say there is no beef with any of the members.
