When Three 6 Mafia formed in 1991, they enlisted Boo early on, recording the group’s 1995 debut album, “Mystic Stylez,” with her as one of its featured rappers. Along with recording solo albums such as “Both Worlds *69” (2001), “Enquiring Minds II: The Soap Opera” (2003) and “The Memphis Queen Is Back” (2007) and mixtapes such as “It’s Game Involved” (2013) and “Candy, Diamonds & Pills” (2016), Boo made her mark by lending her tart raps and taut flow to other artists. Like those female rappers, Boo’s start came with a prominent regional crew — Three 6 Mafia, founded by DJ Paul, Juicy J and Lord Infamous — with whom she recorded a handful of studio albums until her departure in 2002.
