An undisputed classic from the Memphis underground, Volume #16 remains the definitive solo tape from DJ Paul and a top 5 Three 6 Mafia release of all time. Pressed in the early ’90s and distributed largely through local stereo shops, this tape captures the raw, eerie energy of Paul’s signature production style during its formative years. It also marks a historic moment with the very first recorded verse from Gangsta Boo as an official member of Three 6 Mafia — a key milestone in the group’s evolution. The tracklist features early appearances from Koopsta Knicca, Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black, Gangsta Blac, Skinny Pimp, Playa Fly, and others, offering a glimpse into the deep roster that would go on to shape Memphis rap’s legendary underground legacy. Gritty, lo-fi, and unfiltered, this tape stands as a true artifact of the era.
I’m certain that this tape has the audio from the official 2013 remaster released by Paul himself and not the 1994 version.
