DJ Paul spoke about the shows in a statement, enthusing that they capped off a \u201cbanner year\u201d for the hip-hop<\/a> group. \u201cI know this is what the fans have been asking for, so we\u2019re ready to bring them the classics, along with our new music in the best possible way,\u201d he said. \u201cTo quote LL, don\u2019t call it a comeback, we have officially been here for years, and we\u2019ve got a lot to show for it. Just wait to see what comes next.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Three 6 Mafia formed in 1991 and released nine albums during their initial run, the most recent being 2008\u2019s Last 2 Walk<\/em>. They also issued a handful of collaborative LPs and one-offs, including 2015\u2019s Watch What U Wish\u2026<\/em> (under the name Da Mafia 6ix).<\/span> The group hit their peak in the mid-2000s, scoring hits with \u201cStay Fly\u201d and \u201cPoppin\u2019 My Collar,\u201d while in 2006 they famously won the Best Original Song Oscar<\/a> for \u201cIt\u2019s Hard Out Here for a Pimp\u201d from Hustle and Flow<\/a><\/em>. In 2012, Three 6 Mafia announced they were going on hiatus, and since then two original members have died: Lord Infamous in 2013<\/a> and Koopsta Knicca in 2015<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
