If you're really interested in how these early albums came to be like me:

Three 6 Mafia formed in 1991 in Memphis, Tennessee. Originally known as "Backyard Posse", the group consisted of DJ Paul, Juicy J, and Lord Infamous. The group formed through the release of numerous EPs from their own record company with Nick Scarfo, Prophet Entertainment, which were sold around Memphis and the Mid-West. More members joined the group over the years including Koopsta Knicca, Gangsta Boo, Playa Fly and Crunchy Black.

In the early 1990s Memphis was not known for its hip hop scene. As Kingpin Skinny Pimp recalled, "Back then there wasn’t a lot of rappers like there is now. Now there’s ‘New Memphis’ and they call us ‘Old Memphis’ and back in the day the old Memphis had no major marketing behind it so we really had to go underground."[3] Rappers from the city were successful in selling their underground mixtapes to other regions however.

Recording sessions for Mystic Stylez took place in a studio in northern Memphis. DJ Paul described the area as "the middle of the fucking projects. It was a side of town we wasn’t from. Juicy was from there and Koopsta was from there but nobody else in the group. We were from the south side but we [recorded] it on the north side. We would just jump in my car. I had a 1972 Pontiac Catalina convertible. Me, Koop, Crunchy, Boo, Lord, all of us would jump in the car, drive over there, meet Juicy and we recorded man. We used to go everyday. Then we would walk down the street to the Whataburger and get something to eat and we just had a good time recording. It was an old R&B singer that recorded the album. He would always tell us stories about his group traveling the world and when groups get older they travel overseas and do tours. I was like, ‘Man, that’s cool. I want to do that one day.’" The album cost $4,500 to record and mix, and was recorded on 16 track reel-to-reel tape. As Juicy J recalled, "We went in the studio and just made records, man. Go in there, got high, drank, and just made records. That's all I remember doing. I can't remember 'I came up with… Who did…' We just made the beats. We all just came in and contributed, and the shit came out hard."[4] DJ Paul and Juicy J produced the album. DJ Paul mostly played synths, primarily on a Roland W30. Juicy J, who "didn’t really play keys too much", mostly controlled the MPC 60 drum machine. As DJ Paul recalled, "Both of us also wrote songs. [Juicy J], Lord Infamous and I wrote hooks and we were the three main writers of the songs."[3] DJ Paul also used an SP-1200 sampler to produce a lot of the album, which he credits for its lo-fi sound. "We didn’t even think about [the lo-fi] element back then", DJ Paul claimed. "It was good that it came out like that. We didn’t know sound like that. Now I know sound but back in those days when you had a drum machine, an SP-1200 or an MPC and it would only put out 13-bit sound, we didn’t like that. We were like, ‘Damn, I wish it would be more clearer but it’s not.’ It was just like fuck it, that’s just how equipment was back in those days." The group attempted to achieve a clear and crisp sound quality but "between recording it on worn equipment, reels and putting that heavy bass in there, which skirted it out even more, that’s what gave it that sound." DJ Paul stated that much of the appeal of the album came from its lo-fi sound. "People said it sound so hard so now when I be talking to people on Instagram, they be like, ‘I hope it sound like the old stuff man!’ So I’m glad it came out like it did back then."

During the recording sessions, group members were listening to music by artists and groups such as N.W.A, Geto Boys, Willie Hutch, KRS-One and Isaac Hayes.

Described as horrorcore, the overall soundscape of the album Mystic Stylez is considerably more foreboding than succeeding releases. Mystic Stylez includes topics such as extremely graphic violence, murder, drugs, sexual practice, the occult, Satan and Theistic Satanism. These subjects are mostly underscored by dark, menacing beats. Juicy J says that Three 6 Mafia called the album "Mystic Stylez" because "everybody [in Three 6 Mafia] had their own style."
