PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 11 -- As the first hip-hop group
ever to win an Oscar for Best Song, a music career defined by
multi-platinum success, and recognized by millions of loyal fans across the
globe, some may say hip-hop super group Three 6 Mafia has accomplished it
all. However, it is only the beginning for this hip-hop powerhouse as MTV
follows them on their biggest adventure yet -- Hollywood, CA. Leaving the
comforts of their Memphis home behind, Juicy J, DJ Paul, and their
entourage of friends hit the road to conquer Tinseltown and try to become
major Hollywood players in the new comedic-reality series, "Adventures In
HollyHood" premiering March 14th at 10:30pm ET/PT.
The series begins as Three 6 Mafia and their entourage pack their bags
in their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, and head west to Hollywood,
California. Along with maintaining their success as multi-platinum hip-hop
artists, finishing their anticipated follow-up album, and keeping true to
themselves and their southern ways, the group tries to make the most of
their fame by pursuing everything that Hollywood has to offer. The guys
have set out however, to make sure the fame and fortune don't go to their
heads as they put the "hood" into Hollywood ... Three 6-style. Audiences
will be introduced to the following cast of characters never before seen on
television: Juicy J and DJ Paul, the Oscar-winning members of Three 6
Mafia; Big Treice, their personal assistant; Computer, their internet
consultant; and finally Project Pat, Three 6 Mafia's rap protege and
underground hip-hop superstar.

Three 6 Mafia's beginnings date back to the early '90s, as their
underground mix tapes quickly made a name for themselves on the streets and
in the clubs of Memphis, TN. The group made their proper debut in 1995 with
the album entitled "Mystic Stylez." In the years since, the group has left
a trail of gold and platinum records, exploding out of the local Memphis
scene, and carrying their inventive southern, hip-hop sound to the masses
around the world. Together DJ Paul and Juicy J have remained at the core of
the group, not only as acclaimed rappers themselves, but also as renowned
music producers, lending their skills to some of rap's elite including Mike
Jones, Ludacris and the Ying Yang Twins. However, it was Sunday, March 5,
2006 when the rap ensemble truly secured its place in hip-hop history when,
in a surprise upset, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences awarded
"It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp," from acclaimed MTV Film "Hustle & Flow,"
the Oscar for Best Achievement In Music Written for Motion Pictures
(Original Song). Propelled to a new level of success, now Three 6 Mafia
takes on Hollywood with their own MTV series, "Adventures In HollyHood,"
and gears up for the anticipated release of their next album "Last 2 Walk,"
in Spring 2007 on Hypnotize Minds/Columbia Records.
