Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia is hitting the studio to produce and record tracks with socialite Paris Hilton for her debut album. The collaboration sprang from a recent meeting between Hilton and the Oscar-winning group.
"We ran into her at a William Morris Agency party and she said she liked our song 'Stay Fly' and asked could we work with her," Jordan 'Juicy J' Houston told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "We let her listen to a dance track and she really liked it and plans to record it."
Overall, the trio looks forward to working with Hilton.
"We're just getting in the studio and putting together some more tracks for her." "From there, we'll see, but it will be a blast working with Paris Hilton. I mean she is Paris Hilton."
Three 6 Mafia have been on a role since winning the Oscar for Best Original Song for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the movie Hustle & Flow. The group will be honored in Memphis Saturday (April 1) as a part of the city's Three 6 Mafia Day.
"Things are big for us right now and this day only makes it bigger," said Houston.
Three 6 Mafia will receive the key to the city during the event, which will be sponsored by the City of Memphis, Memphis and Shelby County Music Commission, Memphis Music Foundation, Memphis and Shelby County Film Commission and Memphis Grammy Chapter.
"Three 6 Mafia has chosen to remain a part of the Memphis music community for the past 15 years," said Rey Flemings, president of the Memphis Music Foundation. "They thanked Memphis when they accepted their Oscar and now it is Memphis' turn to thank them."
Three 6 Mafia Day takes place Saturday from 5-7 p.m. at the Memphis Rock 'N' Soul.
