Furthermore, group leaders Juicy 'J' and DJ Paul's cinematic production perfectly compliments the group's theatrical rapping, causing many to call them the South's Wu-Tang Clan, as both groups are led by in-house production, feature a closed roster of rappers, and also release innumerable affiliated solo and compilation albums. Representing Memphis, TN, the group's six core members - Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo, Lord Infamous, Koopsta Knicca, Juicy J and DJ Paul - give the group its dark image, vividly rapping about drug use, violent aggression, pornographic sex, and anything else remotely evil.
Without compromising their dark image as a malevolent ap group from the South, Three 6 Mafia quickly evolved from a humble underground ap collective to a commercially successful dynasty by retaining their raw qualities and releasing countless albums under a number of monikers.
