Three 6 Mafia (formerly Triple 6 Mafia) are a Grammy Award and Academy Award-winning American hip hop group originating from Memphis, Tennessee. Formed in 1991 by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, and Juicy J, they shortly thereafter recruited fellow Memphian rappers Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, and Crunchy Black. The group also frequently collaborates with Project Pat (the brother of Juicy J) to the extent that he is often considered a group member.

The group released their horrorcore debut album Mystic Stylez in 1995 through Prophet Entertainment, a record label they created but have since relinquished control over. Their musical style—which initially featured dark beats with equally gritty lyrics—has since moved to a more mainstream sound.
