Known for its darkness, heavy bass, and fast flows; Memphis Rap originated in the early '90s with the likes of DJ Squeeky, DJ Zirk, DJ Spanish Fly, and early Three 6 Mafia. Perhaps most notably, it was Memphis Rap, along with Miami Bass, that laid the groundwork for Crunk and Trap. Memphis Rap was crucial to the Horrorcore movement, as its grimey and often sinister production complemented its hardcore lyricism. Additionally, it was the first style of rap to feature true tongue twisting.

Schizo, Lil Chris & Mac Neno of Dixie Homes Posse & Playaz, "Ashes To Ashes" off of Da Dirty Down South (Prod. by possibly Alkatraz Productions) [1998]

Track 2 off of Da Dirty Down South, by Mac Neno/Lil Kim, Schizo, and Lil Chris of DHP&P.

The production for this track is most likely done by Alkatraz Productions as Al Kapone is shouted out at the end of the track and it has a similar sound to AP's production.

Side Note: The cover on the thumbnail is a fan cover and not the OG cover.

Favorite Gangsta Boo verse

I personally feel like her verse in Are U Ready 4 Us absolutely destroys most everyone also on the track. In general I think she hit her peak on this album. Thoughts?
