There’s a lot of random local stuff from that time period that’s still fire. I’m sure you’ve heard of Playa Fly (all his shyt was removed from streaming but it’s on YouTube) and Gangsta Blac (74 minutes of bump is only on YouTube as of now) by now. Anybody affiliated with DJ squeaky, Tommy Wright III, crime boss (I think he from Arkansas but was part of the early 90’s scene), Gangsta Pat, Gimmisum family, A-Dam-Shame (they did both Memphis and Atlanta crunk), Al Kapone, DJ Zirk, and I’ll try to think of some others later.

My big cousin was in college and would babysit us, at his apartment, as kids. That was the first time I heard “King of da playaz Ball”. It’s been one of my favorites ever since.
He lived up in Memphis during his childhood so he was able to put us on a lot of stuff outside of 3-6, 8ball/mjg.
Gangsta Blac dealt with Atlanta a lot so we were constantly hearing his music. Of course 3-6 was all over the southeast when “the end” came out.
The whole style never really gets old. Plus Anytime there’s a new opioid epidemic a new generation somehow finds its way to 90’s Memphis rap music lol.

Judge me by my heart not my hairline
Gangsta blac- can it be?
Lil fly (Playa fly)-out da darkness of da cut
Project pat- murders robbers
Tommy Wright iii- on the run
8ball&mjg- coming out hard, on the outside looking in, on top of the world, their solo projects
My brother played this in his momma’s car once, and I think the speakers prolapsed
From then on we had to keep the bass on zero or even a mozart song would sound like popcorn and distant gunshots smh.
That era of Memphis is overlooked. that whole click was flames, playa fly and frayser boy later on. If juicy J and DJ Paul didnt do bad business they'd be legendary....more than they are now

Don't sleep on the 2000 rap/dope game album. It's not Paul and Juice, but MVP laced the boards on that album. One of my favorites growing up.
