Three 6 Mafia is an American hip hop group, consisting of two members.

The group was formed in 1991 by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, and Juicy J. They were later joined by fellow Memphis rappers Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, and Crunchy Black.

The group released many mixtapes by members and non members on Prophet Entertainment before releasing their debut album Mystic Stylez. Their early sound was a mix of both crunk and horrorcore, influenced by N.W.A. as well as various Southern hip hop rappers. They are the first hip hop group to win an Academy Award.

In 2000, the official Three 6 Mafia follow-up to the Chapter 2 album, When the Smoke Clears, was released. With the success of the lead single, "Sippin’ on Some Sizzurp" in a few non-Southern markets, the album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200.

It received little MTV airplay and little national radio rotation. This album also featured a much anticipated collaboration with underground favorites Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid. Three 6 even wore ICP merchandise in the video for "Sippin' On Some Sizzurp".

In 2003, Three 6 Mafia released the album Da Unbreakables, which features collaborations with Lil' Flip, Pimp C (from UGK), Lil Wyte, Frayser Boy and Project Pat. The album produced the hit "Ridin' Spinners," which featured Lil' Flip.

In 2005, the group released their follow up direct-to-video, Choices II: The Set Up, and their highly-anticipated album, Most Known Unknown.
