Three 6 Mafia, originally known as Backyard Posse and Triple 6 Mafia, is an incredibly influential hardcore rap group from Memphis, Tennessee. Started in 1991 by Juicy J, D.J. Paul, and Lord Infamous—who died in 2013—Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, and Koopsta Knicca have all been part of the Mafia.
Mystic Stylez, their 1995 debut album, inspired a lo-fi Horrorcore movement in the 2010’s; SpaceGhostPurrp, Denzel Curry, $UICIDEBOY$, and A$AP Rocky all were influenced by Mystic Stylez dark sound.
The Mafia is also known for coining the term “crunk,” a style of music famous for heavy basslines and shouted vocals.
