Even before the Backyard Posse linked up with Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo and Crunchy Black, they all were already dynamic MCs, producers and DJs with a deep catalogue of locally distributed cassettes. The throughline among them? A dedication to the art and science of rap music.
But like supervillains, each of the six Mafia members has an origin story worth its own book. Their story as a collective traces back to 1991, when Memphis-based brothers DJ Paul and Lord Infamous formed the Backyard Posse with Juicy J.
Their blood-curdling, progressive proto-trap and machine-gun flows have soaked into and defined the contemporary consciousness of hip-hop and pop. It’s hard to imagine what music would sound like today without Three 6 Mafia.
