Three 6 Mafia
Three 6 Mafia is a hip-hop group from Memphis, Tennessee, formed in the early 1990s.
The group pioneered a dark, horror-influenced Southern rap style built on hypnotic beats, occult imagery, and gritty street narratives.
Core members DJ Paul and Juicy J achieved mainstream success with the Oscar-winning song "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" (2006).
The name, evoking 666, reflects the group's embrace of sinister aesthetics.
