NEW YORK, NY (Hypnotize Minds/ Sony Urban Music/ Columbia Records) - Most Known Unknown, the new album from Three 6 Mafia, the dirty south's most uncompromising hip-hop ensemble, has entered the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart at No 3, with true first week's sales of more than 125,000 pieces. According to SoundScan, the album also debuts at No 1 on the R&B Album Sales and the Rap Album Sales charts.

Most Known Unknown once again ups the ante on Three 6 Mafia, whose last album, the RIAA Gold-certified Da Unbreakables, debuted at No 4 on the Top 200 in 2003 and the Rap album sales chart at No 1. Driven by the album's first hit single, "Ridin' Spinners," featuring Lil Flip, Da Unbreakables became the No 1 best-selling album in Birmingham, Chattanooga, Jackson, Knoxville, Little Rock, Memphis, Mobile, Nashville, and Paducah.

Garnering a cult-like following since their humble beginnings peddling TDK mix tapes, the Memphis, Tennessee-based Three 6 Mafia personify the essence of Down South Hip-Hop. With an ever-growing string of gold and platinum accomplishments, the group maintains its core connection to the pulse of the underground. Three 6 Mafia has had a series of successful recordings dating back to 1995 and the group's initial releases: the first independent release, Smoked Out, Loced Out, the first full-length album, Mystic Stylez (which sold more than 200,000 copies), and the Live By Your Rep EP.

Three 6 Mafia scored its first major label success in 1997 with Chapter 2: World Domination (Relativity), which sold over 800,00 copies. The group claimed gold status on the destructive lead single, "Tear Da Club Up." Even more success came with the follow-up album, When The Smoke Clears, in 2000. That album debuted at No 6 on Billboard's Top 200 album sales chart, and has sold well over one million copies. As if musical success weren't enough, the group moved into the video realm, releasing the Choices DVD and Choices soundtrack album in 2001. The Choices DVD has sold more than 100,000 units (which is platinum status for home DVDs/videos). A well-received follow-up DVD, Choices II: The Set-Up, was released in March 2005.
