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.

Black Mafia (Murda one and maniac)

Anybody knows what happened to murda one and maniac from black mafia? They were featured on Mr maceo's summer mix and had an album that was scrapped. Their most popular is miss white cocaine which was sampled in lil sko's miss white cocaine. Would like to see if anyone has information if they still make music under a different name or something because there is no record of them existing on the internet other than their songs on YouTube.

Did Tommy Wright III ghostwrite for his collaborators?

When I listen to Ten Wanted Men and other TW3 produced projects I can imagine him rapping some of the verses for sure, but maybe I’m imagining it

Don P & Bush B, The Conglomerate (Prod. by ?) [199x]

Shout out to The Shocker for uploading this obscure junt 🔥.

This tape is often called Conflic Bangalotti on some rips, which I don't understand why since that sounds nothing like its real name - The Conglomerate. Also despite what Player 1 typed on his bootlegs, this was not produced by DJ Sound nor did DJ Sound have anything to do with it.

Not much is known about this tape except that it was released sometime in the late 90s and it was done by Don P & Bush B. Not sure who produced this but it sounds similar to the production on Big Smokeout's Ghetto 2 Ghetto tape, so maybe it could be another Money Hungry Productions tape out of East Memphis?
