Most Known Unknown chart positions:#3 US BIllboard 200, #1 R&B, #1 RAP RELEASED: SEPTEMEBER27, 2005

Most Known Unknown is the eighth full length album, as well as the second platinum album from Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia. It was released in 2005, and is the follow-up to the 2003 album Da Unbreakables. This album is known for having some of Three 6 Mafia's biggest hits, including "Stay Fly" featuring Young Buck and 8Ball & MJG, "Poppin' My Collar" featuring Project Pat (though Pat's verse wasn't included in the first edition, but would later be included in the re-issue) and "Side 2 Side" featuring Bow Wow and Project Pat (with Bow Wow and Project Pat's verses, like the "Poppin' My Collar" remix, would not be used in the first edition, but would be released in the re-issue, along with another remix featuring Kanye West and a slightly different sounding melody). This album would prove to be their biggest success to date, topping the old success of the 2000 album When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1. The original version was released on a regular CD version as well as a DualDisc version. The re-release also had a bonus version, with two remixes of "Poppin' My Collar" and "Side 2 Side". A chopped and screwed version by Michael Watts was also released.

Along with chart topping hits, this album also featured several well known guest rappers, including Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Trick Daddy, Mr. Bigg, 8Ball & MJG, Young Buck, Remy Ma, Bow Wow (only on re-issue), Kanye West (only on re-issue), Lil' Flip, as well as the Hypnotize Camp Posse (Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, Frayser Boy, Lil Wyte, Chrome, Boogey Mane, and Granddaddy Souf).

Most Known Unknown opened at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the R&B/Hip-hop charts with 115,000 copies sold. It was propelled to gold status by the help of its lead single, "Stay Fly" and was certified platinum by June 2006, also being helped by their second single, "Poppin' My Collar".

Three 6 Mafia member Lord Infamous was notably missing from both the tracks and the album cover. Many rumors speculated that he either left the group or was kicked out; these rumors were put to rest when DJ Paul, Lord Infamous' half-brother, told sources that the reason for Infamous not being on the album was due to a stint in jail. Leaving only Crunchy Black, DJ Paul and Juicy J

Da Unbreakables "CHARTS Positions: #4 US BILLBOARD 200, #2 R&B PLATINUM Released: July 1, 2003

Da Unbreakables is the sixth album from the rap group Three 6 Mafia. The album features Lord Infamous, DJ Paul, Juicy J and Crunchy Black. Gangsta Boo and Koopsta Knicca both left to pursue solo careers. Da Unbreakables marks the beginning of the general trajectory of Three 6 Mafia's career to date, moving them further away from their horrorcore beginnings toward the hardcore rap mainstream, yet doing so without compromising any of duo Juicy J and DJ Paul's production style. There is a version chopped and screwed by Michael Watts.

CRUNCHY BLACK'S debut solo from Three 6 Mafia entitled ON MY OWN released on September 19, 2006

Chapter 1: The End (CHARTED POSITIONS: #126 Billboard 200, #42 R&B Dece 3, 1996

Chapter 1: The End is the full-length follow-up by Three 6 Mafia to their debut album Mystic Stylez. During the timeline between the two albums, Three 6 Mafia were having a war of words with Cleveland based rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and released an EP dissing the group. If you listen to the song "Last Man Standing" you hear DJ Paul mention Bone Thugs: The last man standin'll never be part of the b.o.n.e. There is also an original version of "Life or Death" which features a different Scan Man verse & Koopsta Knicca not on the track. The album's best known track is "Where's Da Bud". The tracks "N-2-Deep" & "Late Nite Tip" were also included in the group's next album, Chapter 2: World Domination. The chorus of the track "Gotcha Shakin'" samples "Where I Dwell", a song on Gangsta Blac's album Can It Be?. This album moved over 200,000 copies independently, and is considered darker than Chapter 2, yet still less bleak than Mystic Stylez.

Mystic Stylez Released: May 25, 1995 CHARTED POSITIONS: #59 R&B

Mystic Stylez is the 1995 debut album of the American hip hop group, Three 6 Mafia. Produced completely by founding members DJ Paul and Juicy J, the album has been described as a defining example of horrorcore-style rap.[1] It was published through Prophet Entertainment, an independent record label previously controlled by Three 6 Mafia.

The overall soundscape is considerably more foreboding than succeeding releases. Contentious and dark topics are frequently discussed, such as violent revenge in "Live by Yo Rep (B.O.N.E. Dis)" and occultism in "Mystic Stylez" and "Fuckin' Wit Dis Click". These subjects are underscored by equally menacing beats, all of which were created by DJ Paul and Juicy J as they still are today. Many tracks contain samples from previously released songs, and even the likes of Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson.

The main job of the Personal Manager

               The main job of the Personal Manager

The main job of the Personal Manager is to represent one or more musical groups or artists. In doing this, the Manager oversees all aspects of an artist’s career.

The Personal Manager, in essence, deals with and advises the act on all business decisions and many of the creative decisions artists must make. In this manner, the Manager attempts to guide an artist's rise to the top.

The Manager begins by hearing and/or seeing an artist he or she feels has talent. After discussions with the act, a Manager may feel he or she has something to offer the act. The Manager should have the know-how to direct a musical career. If a bargain is struck, the two parties usually sign a contract. It is then the Manager's job to begin to plan for stardom.

In this position, the Manager is the single most im­portant person (talent notwithstanding) helping the act attains stardom or success. Soon .after signing the con­tract, the Manager will begin looking for a record label that is interested in the act. This is accomplished in a variety or ways, including talking to personal contacts, showcasing the act, and/or providing demo tapes and videos.

 When the Manager finds a label interested in the act, he or she may negotiate a recording deal or recommend a music industry attorney to negotiate on behalf of the group. .

 The Manager seeks out booking agents to find en­gagements for the act. If the act is just starting out, the Manager may book dates him- or herself. However, it is illegal in a number of states for an individual to act as both a Manager and a booking agent. In other words, the Manager cannot usually take both a percentage of the artist's earnings for managing and an additional percent­age for booking the act.

 The Manager might help the artists polish their act by reviewing tunes, choreography, costumes, and backup musicians.  He or she might also help choose musical personnel, producers, engineers, etc., for a recording date.

Representing the artist at all times, the Manager advises the act about other personnel to hire and/or fire. Personnel might include both business and talent peo­ple. Some examples of support personnel are: public relations firms, publicists, road personnel, producers, musicians, accountants, security people, and merchan­disers.

As the Manager, the individual is responsible for advancing the act's career as much as possible. He or she must oversee all the personnel and their jobs in relation to the act. At times, the Manager might have to audit books or act as a Road Manager or even as the heavy in a dispute with a promoter.

A Manager must be willing to work hard for the success of the client. Working hard, however, doesn't always mean the artist will be successful. It is helpful for the Manager to have industry contacts. These con­tacts sometimes help the artist get to the top.

Managers are often given power of attorney for their clients. In some cases, the power of attorney is complete; in others, it is limited. Whatever the case, the Manager usually is given authority to approve concert dates and places, monies for concerts. publicity materials, etc.

The individual an act chooses to be its Manager must be compatible with the act. He or she must be available on a day-to-day basis to discuss any problems the artist has. In addition, the two parties must meet on a regular basis to discuss new ways to advance the career of the act.

In many cases, the Manager puts up money to finance the group or artist hoping to make the money back later. In other cases, the Manager might find a financial backer for the group.

The Personal Manager works closely with all mem­bers of the act's team. He or she may spend a great deal of time with the act's publicity or public relations firm working on building the image of the act.

The Manager will also be in constant communication with the act's booking agent or agency. The Manager must make sure that the act is always well represented by others.

The Manager is responsible directly to the act. Al­though the terms of each artist-manager contract are different, most run for a specified number of years. Some have option clauses that the Manager can pick up if he or she desires.

The lifestyle of a Personal Manager in the music business is a busy one. Long hours are spent with the act. More hours are used up dealing on the group's behalf. If a Manager is with an artist who makes it financially, he or she usually enjoys the success, too.

 Since Managers can handle more than one client (al­though they don't usually handle vast numbers at any one time), they can make out quite well financially.

Salaries

Personal Managers receive a percentage of artist's earnings. This percentage varies with the individual and the manager. It can range from 10% to 50%. The usual amount is 15% to 20% of artist earnings. In certain situations, the percentage goes up as' an artist makes more money. For example, the Manager may make 10% of all earnings up to $100,000 and 15% on all monies after that.

Managers receive these fees off the top. Fees are received on monies from personal appearances, con­certs, television, recording, etc. In some cases, the Man­ager also takes a percentage of merchandising paraphernalia sold (T-shirts, posters, bumper stickers, pins, etc.)

A Manager working with a band just starting out may earn the same amount of money as the band members until they get on their feet financially. The Manager may opt to take nothing until the group starts doing reason­ably well.    .

The Manager often puts up money for the act in excess of his or her salary, temporarily losing money. The Manager hopes that the money will be recouped later when the band is successful. (On the other hand, the band may break up or never get anywhere, and the Manager may incur a loss.)

A Manager working with a top recording group can make $500.000 plus. Managers often handle more than one act at a time.

 Employment Prospects

Employment prospects are good for Personal Managers. As almost anyone can become a Manager, all one has to do is find acts to sign up. This is not to say that everyone can be a good Manager. In order to be success­ful, the Personal Manager must have contacts and guide the act's career.

There are many groups that are not yet signed with anyone. An individual with an eye for raw talent can certainly enter this field.

 Advancement Prospects

There are many Managers around the country and the world. Most of them, however, do not handle major acts. In order to attract a top recording act, a Manager must have proven him- or herself in the past. This usually means having a top act or an up-and- coming act signed. One other excellent method is for the Personal Manager to start with a new act and work with them, guiding their career until stardom.  Unfortunately, though, as groups begin to attain success they often try to get out of their contracts with smaller Managers and sign with better known Managers.

 Education and Training

     There are no formal educational requirements to qualify one for a position as a manager.  A college background is helpful, however.  There are currently degrees and courses offered in the music business and music merchandising.  Other useful majors and/or courses are business, law, communications, journalism, and marketing.

 Experience/Skills/Personality Traits

     A very broad knowledge of the entire music business is necessary for success as a Manager.  Many new managers (those starting with local acts, for instance) learn the ropes as they go.  It is important for the individual to acquire as many useful music contacts as possible.  This assists the manager to help an act.

                   Successful managers are hard-working individuals, always making efforts on their group’s behalf.  A Personal Manager should have the ability to see raw talent and work with it until it is polished to perfection.

                    Many managers begin their careers as musicians and find they enjoy the business end of the industry more.  Personal Managers should be adept at all the business facets of an entertainer’s career.  The ability to give positive, constructive advice on the creative end is a plus. 

 Unions/Associations

 There is no bargaining union for Personal Managers. There is an association called the Conference of Personal Managers.  This organization sets standards for the conduct of Personal Managers.
