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.

Sorry if it's not allowed but I wanted to share some of my memphis inspired music.
Mostly samples and a Casio SA-76 recorded on audacity, then microcassette, then back again. What methods do you guys use when trying to replicate memphis sounds?

Bootleg?
Looking to buy this but I always hate seeing stains on the sticker presses. I almost always stay way from sticker press anyways. Stains are too common and when I see them I stay clear. Like did you really grab the tape after eating ribs? I will say the j card looks correct

Kenfolks, Hogkilling Underground (Prod. by Tela, Boss Game & Money Rip) [1993]
Shout out to The Shocker for uploading this classic junt 🔥.
One of the earlier Memphis Rap tapes and one of Tela's earlier albums. This one has more of a G Funk and West Coast sound, considering that was the popular sound in the early to mid 90s. This was produced by Tela, Boss Game and Money Rip and released under Undersiege Productions and Big Racket Music.
The Kenfolks were Tela, Money Rip, Boss Game, Cody Mac, and Chozen. Cody Mac and Chozen would later appear on Delax & Flow 1-1's Black Kennedys and they and Money Rip were also apart of the Monsta Klick. According to a comment left by Tommy Wright on IG, Tela was apart of another group called The Levels before he got signed to Suave House.

Any non-vexing Memphis rap?
I really like the sound and atmosphere of 90s-2000s rlmemphis rap but I'm Christian and feel my field being observed and it deeply disturbs me. Any non wizardly Memphis rap recommendations?
