The Three 6 Mafia's beginnings date back to the early '90s when they were known as Triple Six Mafia. Three 6 made their proper debut in 1995 with Mystic Stylez, a groundbreaking effort that lent itself well to the "horrorcore" tag tossed about in the years to follow. The independent release of their album, The End, through independent distributor, Select-O-Hits, propelled DJ Paul, Juicy J and their crew to National prominence. The recognition received by The End led to the group signing a major label deal with Relativity Records and the rest is Rap history. The End is the Three 6 Mafia album that took them to the next level and eventual Grammy and Academy Awards.
