Juicy J also explains how "Tear Da Club Up" helped Three 6 Mafia get its first major label contract.
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 J says 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.’”
The success of “Tear Da Club Up” helped Three 6 Mafia land
its first major label contract, one with Relativity Records. “The song
got hot then it got in Atlanta,” Juicy J says. “Then it got hot in
Dallas. Then it got hot in Houston, and then maybe like nine months
later we signed a big record deal.”
