ARTISTThree 6 Mafia
Three 6 Mafia was founded by DJ Paul and Juicy J, whom the biography describes as Oscar winners. Their catalog spans more than two decades and includes numerous hits and collaborations with artists such as Outkast, UGK, T.I., Eightball & MJG, Project Pat, Lil Jon, and Trick Daddy. The biography connects crunk’s roots in Generation X with its evolution into contemporary music and the interest of Millennial and Gen-Z artists in its basslines and energy.
Juicy J has collaborated as a solo artist with Travis Scott, Kevin Gates, and Lil Skies, produced tracks for 2Chainz, City Girls, Ty Dolla Sign, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B, and appeared on tracks with Megan Thee Stallion and Young Dolph. The source also cites more than 15 million record sales with Katy Perry’s Grammy-nominated “Dark Horse,” as well as Gold and Platinum singles and MTV and American Music Awards. DJ Paul contributed production to “Talk Up” by Drake and Jay-Z, included on Drake’s award-winning, five-times-platinum album Scorpion. He has also worked with Yelawolf, 2Chainz, Future, French Montana, Lil Jon, ASAP Ferg, and Giggs, released several solo albums, and found a new wave of success in Eastern Europe’s Phonk scene.
