This 2000 LOUD Records debut for Three 6 Mafia leans into the dark, sample-driven sound that defined their early career, albeit with a slightly more polished presentation for a major label audience. It stands as a key entry in the canon of Southern hip-hop.

Memphis, Tennessee hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia pioneered the trap subgenre with their distinctive, sample-heavy production and occult-influenced lyrics. By 2000, they had moved from independent releases to a major label deal, and were beginning to see broader mainstream recognition.
