About

North Memphis rapper from Dixie Homes who served as a key connective figure between DJ Squeeky's Orange Mound network, the Three 6 Mafia orbit, and his own Gimisum Family empire. He started recording with Squeeky, then aligned closely with DJ Paul and Juicy J — contributing to the Mystic Stylez sessions — before co-founding Gimisum Family with his brothers Big Hill and AK. His 1996 album "King of Da Playaz Ball" is the signature document of the Gimisum sound. He bridged multiple factions of the Memphis scene without being fully absorbed by any single one.
