Lil Wyte is at the top of my favorite artists from my area and my kids love him too. Nowadays, you'll most likely hear him with Jelly Roll. If you listened to Three 6 back in the day, you've no doubt heard some collabs between them and this rapper. To me, she is the Queen of Hip Hop and helped pave the way for artists like Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj. She's had a bit of moderate success on her own but she's collaborated with tons of folks. Gangsta Boo was the only female to ever be an official member of Three 6. Since being solo, he hasn't released anything since 2015. There were some disputes between him and group members, Juicy J and DJ Paul, which also contributed to the breakup. At that time, he dissolved his role in the group, citing a desire to branch out as a solo artist. He passed away in 2015 after complications with a stroke that left him unresponsive and on life support.Ĭrunky Black joined Three 6 in 1993 and continued to collaborate until 2006. He released multiple albums was never able to gain much of a fan base, outside of Memphians and loyal Three 6 fans. He was with Three 6 Mafia from 1991-2000, when he had to leave the band due to incarceration. Koopsta Knicca also isn't very well known.
Sadly, he passed away from a heart attack in 2013. Lord Infamous wasn't able to become as successful as some of the other group members and ended his partnership with Three 6 after getting arrested. Lord Infamous is another one of the co-founders of Three 6 Mafia and was also born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. Not bad for someone who started out in one of the most dangerous cities in the country. He's also collaborated with well-known artists like Kevin Gates, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, and Lil Wayne, just to name a few. My kids love his remix with Katy Perry " Dark Horse". He is one of the members that went beyond the group and really found success. Juicy J is another founding member of Three 6 and is also still active. He's tried his hand at a solo career and is one of the more well-known members. He's also the producer of all of their albums. If you've seen Hustle and Flow, you've heard Three 6 Mafia.ĭJ Paul is one of the founding members of Three 6 and one of the only two original members left. Yeanknow? Some members of this group have broken out on their own and found success, while others might not be as well known.
Living in a small town meant we spent Friday and Saturday nights cruising the strip, bumping Two Way Freak or Baby Momma.
Nothing brings back the nostalgia of my youth like Three 6 Mafia. This just goes to show that you don't have to be from a big city to make it in showbiz. He's certainly come a long way from appearing alongside Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and is now one of the most known singers in the world. Who doesn't know this household name? This famous singer came from the same podunk area I'm located and it's not hard to find someone who remembers growing up with Justin, pre- Nsync (for you younger generations, this was a boy band he belonged to in the '90s to early 2000s). So let's see who hails from here, shall we? Guess you might be able to see why I'm such a music lover, huh? I grew up going to concerts on Beale Street. " It got me to thinking, just how many artists do I know that is from my area? For those of you who don't know, my area is about 30 miles north of the city of Blues, Memphis. Lil Wyte said it best when he said, " I can't even count how many legends my city's made. I was listening to my Spotify playlist today when a song came on that gave me the inspiration for this post. Memphis Bridge, spanning the Mighty Mississippi River But if I can bring even one new fan their way, then I have succeeded. Since I know what it's like to self promote, I'm always helping promote others in my own way, even when they'll never even know because they have so many loyal fans out there. If you're self-promoting, it's even harder because there's so much. Getting your name out there is one of the most important, and hardest, things an artist has to do.
