Juicy J’s material gets regular spins on the radio. Things were different for the Memphis rapper-producer in 1995, when he was an aspiring artist trying to break through with his group, Three 6 Mafia.
The group started getting traction with its “Tear Da Club Up” single, a selection from its Mystic Stylez album. Juicy Jsays he remembers hearing the song on the radio for the first time.
“I would have been like 20, 21 years old,”
Juicy J says during an interview with radio.com.
“I heard it on the radio in Memphis, Tennessee. I went crazy. I got so excited. I was jumpin’ around. I called my mom. ‘Yo, I’m on the radio. I’m on the radio.’”
In 1997, Three 6 Mafia released its first album with Relativity Records, Chpt. 2 “World Domination.” That album included “Tear Da Club Up ’97,” a reworking of its breakthrough hit.
Juicy J is working on his next album, the follow-up to 2013’s Stay Trippy.
