Are Three 6 Mafia the Godfathers of Modern Rap? | Sound Field

Three 6 Mafia are a Memphis-based group that created the building blocks for the trap sound. Though trap music came from Atlanta, the sound originates from earlier down-south hip-hop genres like crunk, Miami bass, bounce, and chopped & screwed. Nahre and LA explore how Three 6 Mafia's sound influences modern rap music and later make their own crunk inspired beat.
