Gloomy Gus - Memphis Militia: Drum and Bass Tribute to Three 6 Mafia (2007)
In the Dirty South, it doesn't get much dirtier than Three 6 Mafia. For more than a decade DJ Paul, Lord Infamous and Juicy J have been grinding the grittiest street anthems out of their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. They've gone from slangin' \"horrorcore\" game and tapes out of trunks to becoming the first platinum hip-hop group to emerge out of Memphis. An Academy Award only solidified the fact that, while many wanted them out of the limelight, there was no stoppin' one of hip-hop's most notorious acts.
The foundation for all of Three 6's biggest hits is an emphasis on steady, percussive beats. It is the driving force of what makes the South so dirty, so nasty and so damn crunk. Taking that to a whole new level, the grind has been accelerated into an aggressive album that pays tribute to the dark side at the heart of Three 6 Mafia. Memphis Militia hammers their hardest hitting tracks into the strongest drum and bass and jungle rhythms on the face of the planet.
