Paranoid Funk

Produced largely by Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J, this highly obscure cassette release is a profoundly dark, incredibly eerie cornerstone of 1990s Memphis horrorcore. The incredibly lo-fi, tape-degraded production heavily relies on menacing, pitch-shifted vocal samples and highly repetitive, deeply atmospheric synthesizer loops to score incredibly grim street narratives. The notoriously terrifying, psychedelic atmosphere elevated the tape to legendary status among extreme hip-hop collectors.
