Career development

His career in music started when he decided to take his love towards hip hop and make a career as a DJ and a rapper.

He soon succeeded in getting a job in a popular club in Memphis called „380 Beale“. He was first very serious about being a DJ.

In 1989, he and his half-brother formed a hip hop duo named „The Serial Killaz“ and Paul was the producer and the beat maker while his half brother Lord Infamous rapped in the song.

Their father helped them in starting their career by giving them money to rent a studio because they did not own any of the equipment.

They made tapes which they released in the hood and sold in local stores. In 1992, the duo released their first tape named „Portrait Of a Serial Killa“.

In 1993, they released „Come With Me 2 Hell“ mixtape. They eventually earned enough money to buy their own studio equipment and Paul started selling the mixtapes in the high school he attended.

He was a very focused teenager then. DJ Paul made a lot of his own solo tapes titled „Underground“ and they were released from Volume 1 to 16.

He became a known DJ in South Memphis and one day he was introduced to Juicy J, a known producer, who offered the duo to join his group „The Backyard Posse“.

Juicy J and DJ Paul clicked very fast and started producing tracks, finally changing their group name to „Triple Six Mafia”, inspired by Lord Infamous words on stage.

In 1994, Koopsta Knicca joined their group after what group released „Smoked Out Loced Out“. After Gangsta Boo and Hype Man Crunchy Black joined them they decided to change the name of the group to a final product: „Three 6 Mafia“.
