Crunchy Blac: We just doing our thing manne, just trying to give yall some good music.
Most Known Unknowns, good title fits yall well tell me about what you want fans to perceive it as?
DJ Paul: We known but at the same time we unknown, we done a lot of shit people don’t even know we done did, they familiar with it but they don’t know we did it. A lot of hits we got out their, a lot of people don’t know how long and how strong we been in this game.
I know the single “Still Fly” was circulating a little early, round the time Choices 2 came out, was it suppose to be out that early, was the album suppose to be out this early, or did the single just take off and you moved the album up?
DJ Paul: Naw it was always suppose to come out around that time, actually it was suppose to come out earlier than this, we just kept recording doing shit over and over again. So we just pushed the album back till we felt we had it ready and right.
I mean that’s a pretty big collaboration, Eightball & MJG, Young Buck plus yall on a track how did that come about?
DJ Paul: Well we did some production for Young Buck, the stomp song was us, and we always fucked with Buck that’s our dawg. Eightball & MJG them been our homies for the longest, we always said we was going to work together and do a track together, then we ran into them and let them hear the Stay Fly track, they loved it so we went ahead and finally collaborated on that junt.
So the rumors true? Project Pat on the remix?
Juicy J: YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
DJ Paul: It’s a don dada, we got project pat on their, Slim Thug, and Florida’s Trick Daddy, be on the lookout for that! Stay Fly is a south song and we keeping it south!
When you plan on releasing that a little bit before the album or we going to have to wait for the official to drop?
DJ Paul: Its on the album, but we going to let it out to radio early next month.
Crunchy Blac: Right now its in your pocket, get the album you get the remix!
So what separates this new Three 6 Mafia from all the past projects you done put out?
Juciy J: We got older!
DJ Paul: Pretty much, that’s it we got older. We keep shit the same, if it aint broke don’t fix it manne. We do some little tricks here and there with the beats to spice it up but we pretty much talking about the same thing, drugs, hoes, and backrolls!
So what are some of yall favorite tracks we should be looking out for?
Juicy J: All of them, we got like 20 to 22 tracks on their, we love all of them I cant even bullshit, I love all them this time around. Dropping em, Dropping em, DROPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.
DJ Paul: My favorite song on there is “Side to Side” it’s a dance song for niggas in the club that don’t dance, the cat in the back with his hat down with the black n mild or blunt hanging in his mouth just chillen.
Whats yall favorite throwback Three 6 Mafia album?
DJ Paul: Id probably have to say When The Smoke Clears for now.
Crunchy Blac: The first junt we ever done!
The Mystic Styles?
Crunchy Blac: Yeahh.

Crunchy Blac: Juicy J, That Chronicles Of The Juice Man!!!
DJ Paul: DJ Paul & Juicy J Volume 9 probably my favorite.
Juicy J: YEAH!
You got some new artists on the roster, Chrome & Boogie Man tell me about them?
DJ Paul: Boogie Man one of our homies for a long ass time, we been knowing him he been on the road with us over the years, we grew up with him. Chrome we heard about him awhile ago, we just picked up on him not too long ago, he was in a group with his brother Shank. His brother caught a murder charge and is going to be away for awhile, so we signed Chrome and made it happen, Straight To The Pros coming soon.
Shank & Chrome came out with that Daily Living song member that?
DJ Paul: Shit I dunno even remember the name of any of them songs right now, but they did have a old album out.
So tell me what new artists like Boogie Man & Chrome bring to the table as far as the label?
Crunchy Blac: Well Boogie Man, he a nigga just like me Crunchy Blac, we got us a album coming out called “Out Of The Closet”.

Then we have our first comedy dropping this year also, straight DVD release on Ocotber 18th its called the Clean Up Men. Its funny as a fool. Then we might do another junt called the “Streetz Of Memphis” which is something like the choices movie.
You think Hustle & Flow did a good job representing Memphis and how maybe three six mafia came up?
DJ Paul: Yea manne, watching that movie brought back memories, John Singleton did a good job representing Memphis in that movie.
