A massive award win is never bad for your career, just ask the Three 6
Mafia. In March the Memphis
trio took home hardware at the Academy Awards for the best original song for It’s
Hard Out Here for a Pimp from Hustle & Flow.
Now down to a duo with Crunchy Black going solo, Juicy J and DJ
Paul parlayed the award into a three-year production deal with Warner
Bros. As part of the deal, Warner will market, distribute and
promote artists and other ventures from Triple 6’s Hypnotize Minds
Productions. Don’t get it confused though, Three 6 remain signed to
Sony BMG as artists.
“This deal is big for us because it gives us the opportunity to grab
new talent and work them through Warner Bros.’ heavy duty machine. Warner
Bros. has a good formula, they understand the South sound, and they know
how to market and break records over there,” Juicy J said of
the deal.
