In the uncertain world of the music business, there seems to be one surefire way to make a hit song: sample or interpolate something from the Three 6 Mafia family. From Rae Sremmurd on “Powerglide” to ASAP Ferg on “Plain Jane” to G-Eazy’s “No Limit” to J. Cole’s “No Role Modelz” to Cardi B’s “Bickenhead” to ASAP Rocky’s “Gunz N Butter,” songs by Three 6, Project Pat, and other artists from the influential Memphis crew are the backbone of some of the biggest hits of the past few years.
