Three 6 Mafia Announce Reunion Tour
After years of seperation, Juicy J and DJ Paul have mended their relationship and will reunite Three 6 Mafia on tour.
Juice revealed the good news on Instagram via a flyer promoting the trek on Friday (Aug. 16). "The Return of Three 6 Mafia," the announcement reads.
The show will also feature former and current Three 6 members Gangsta Boo, Crunchy Black and La Chat as well as Hypnotize Minds rappers Project Pat and Lil Wyte. DMX and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will also be on the bill.
"THREE 6 MAFIA REUNION TOUR!" Juice captioned the post. "Tickets on sale next Friday."
DJ Paul also confirmed the jaunt is going down. "This year has already been a banner year for new music and production from both of us," DJ Paul says of himself and Juicy J. "I know this is what the fans have been asking for, so we're ready to bring them the classics, along with our new music in the best possible way. To quote LL, don't call it a comeback, we have officially been here for years, and we've got a lot to show for it. Just wait to see what comes next..."
The group has three show appearances scheduled. The first is at the One Musicfest in Atlanta on Sept. 7. On Oct. 11, Juicy J and DJ Paul will join in the Loud Records 25th Anniversary celebration. The big reunion show will take place at the Landers Center in Southaven, Miss. on Oct. 12.
The reunion has been a long time coming. "This year has already been a banner year for new music and production from both of us," says DJ Paul. "I know this is what the fans have been asking for, so we're ready to bring them the classics, along with our new music in the best possible way. To quote LL, don't call it a comeback, we have officially been here for years, and we've got a lot to show for it. Just wait to see what comes next."
It's been around 10 years since Juice parted ways with the group to focus on his solo career. There has been rumors that he and DJ Paul were no longer seeing eye to eye. They haven't collabed in the last half decade. Paul tried to start a new incarnation of the group called Da Mafia Six, which put out multiple projects including Hear Sum Evil in 2014, mostly without the involvement of Juicy.
Hopefully, the tour leads to a reunion album. The last official Three 6 Mafia album, Last 2 Walk, was released in 2008.
