Man LA is on that Laffy Taffy joint right now... Joint came out of nowhere...
Seriously?
The group is called D4L--I didn't think that record was gonna get that far beyond Atlanta.
Its been requested so heavily at the local DJ shop they submitted it to Killah Kuts (I heard them convincing KK on the phone the other day that it would sell!)

My friend in ATL was telling me, "Everyone's calling up the radio to request that one--even dudes!"

That shit is blowing up on the radio... Getting mad spins across the country... I know its been in ATL for a minute, Just got on the radio out here about a week ago I guess.
Even though Kelefa Sanneh has been writing for the Times for close to two years now, it still cracks me up whenever I read the nation's paper of record printing stuff like his proclamation that Three-6 Mafia's got one of the year's best albums...
For about 15 years, this Memphis crew has been perfecting its own bewildering form of hip-hop. Early recordings combined horror-movie keyboards with mayhem-obsessed lyrics, and since then the members of Three 6 Mafia have slouched toward the mainstream. Or maybe the mainstream has slouched toward them. In a world where Lil Jon is a pop star, these hip-hop eccentrics seem less like musical stepchildren and more like godfathers. (You can hear them in the Memphis movie "Hustle & Flow": leaders DJ Paul and Juicy J produced the beat for "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp.")
"Most Known Unknown" just be the most satisfying Three 6 Mafia CD so far. (And there are lots of them.) The album includes two mixes of the brilliant single "Stay Fly," where a stretched-out refrains reclines atop an impossibly sleek beat. Most of the tracks here are sturdy but thrillingly off-kilter: one has menacing, chopped-up voices, the next has a lush synthesizer approximation of a string quartet. Paul Wall, Remy Ma and many others contribute verses. Woozy but unexpectedly consistent, this is one of the year's best hip-hop albums.
