North Memphis rapper, producer, and DJ who co-founded Three 6 Mafia alongside DJ Paul, bringing a slightly more funk-influenced sensibility to complement Paul's horror-driven aesthetic. Before forming the group he DJed for 8Ball & MJG, and his own solo cassette volumes (#4–10, 1992–1994) circulated widely through the Memphis tape network. Older brother of Project Pat. Won the Academy Award for Best Original Song as part of Three 6 Mafia for "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" (2006), the group's unlikely crossover moment into mainstream recognition.
