Formed in 1991, they added a fourth member, Boblet, and the group’s start was marked by their own style, which was named horrorcore and crunk, and they performed under the name Backyard Posse.
Soon the members began recording their own material, which was distributed through Prophet Entertainment. After launching their careers both as a group and on an individual level, Juicy J and DJ Paul started their own record label, Hypnotize Minds Record, and very soon had new musicians signed toit, and also started releasing their own material. The group’s first studio album came out in 1995, entitled “Mystic Stylez”, which reached No. 59 on the US R&B chart. It was from 1997 and their third album “Chapter 2: World Domination”, that the group struck mainstream popularity. Their fourth album “When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1” peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and NO. 2 on the US R&B chart, and achieved platinum status in the USA, which only increased the net worth of the group’s members.
They continued in the same rhythm throughout the early and mid- 2000s, with albums “Choices: The Album” (2001), “Da Unbreakables” (2003), and Most Known Unknown” (2005), which became their first No. 1 album as it topped the US R&B and US Rap charts, while it also achieved platinum status, further increasing their wealth.
Since 2006 onwards, the group has experienced some internal problems, including money disagreements between Crunchy Black, DJ Paul, and Juicy J., and at one time, the group consisted only of DJ Paul and Juicy J, and group’s future was put on hold since its remaining members focused on their respective career. Nevertheless, Three 6 Mafia released its ninth album “Last 2 Walk” in 2008, and then break from recording lasted until 2013, when Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca, DJ Paul, Crunchy Black, and Lord Infamous reunited under the name Da Mafia 6ix. They released two mixtapes “6iX Commandments” (2013), and “Hear Sum Evil” (2014), and the tenth studio album “Watch What U Wish…” in 2015. Since the reformation of the group, Lord Infamous and Koopsta Knicca passed away, while Gangsta Boo left the group. In order to finish the album, the remaining members of the group brought in such musicians as Insane Clown Posse, Lil Wyte, Lil Infamous, the son of Lord Infamous, Fiend, and many other.
