The Three 6 Mafia-emcee/producer is officially embarking on yet another unexpected career adventure. Over the past 20 years of Hip Hop history, few acts have been able to seamlessly transition with every break in the mainstream wave like Memphis’ finest. From Triple 6 to “Tear Da Club Up;” platinum albums to Oscar Award wins; Juicy J, DJ Paul, et al., are the definition of reinvention. In that sense, J’s Taylor Gang signing is the exact opposite of surprising.
Juicy J discusses his upcoming work with Wiz Khalifa, maintaining mainstream and independent success simultaneously, the causes of Three 6 Mafia’s one-time clash with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, his favorite horror films, and what still surprises him about Hip Hop.
