Soon after his departure from Three 6 Mafia, Lord Infamous and long time friend and Memphis rapper II Tone formed a new record company, "Black Rain Entertainment". This marked the first time they had worked together since Three 6 Mafia's 2005 album Choices II: The Setup. Lord Infamous later reunited with DJ Paul for Paul's 2009 solo album, Scale-A-Ton. In 2006, following jail time which led to a breach of contract with Sony, Lord Infamous was forced to end work with Three 6 Mafia, leaving the group on good terms. The group went on to release four more mainstream albums and numerous solo projects through the mid-2000s, though during this time the group became smaller because of the departure of several members for various reasons. At this time Three 6 Mafia members DJ Paul and Juicy J were creating their own record company, Hypnotize Minds, which Lord Infamous became a part of. Shortly after in 1995, the group changed its name to Three 6 Mafia and released its debut album, Mystic Stylez. At the same time, Lord Infamous released his first underground solo album, Lord of Terror. Under the label they released their first underground album, Smoked Out, Loced Out in 1994. The first record deal for the group was with Nick Scarfo and Prophet Posse. These three along with a few other local rappers formed a group initially called "The Backyard Posse", which later went on to be known as "Triple 6 Mafia". In 1991 Lord Infamous and DJ Paul met up with fellow north Memphis rapper and producer Juicy J. Their first known tape entitled Portrait of a Serial Killa, was released in 1992. They were fairly popular in the south Memphis area and released self-recorded tapes in their neighborhood, school, and local shops. Lord Infamous started his music career in the late 1980s with his uncle DJ Paul. His lyrics touched on macabre subjects such as Satanism, mass murder, and torture, along with more traditional themes such as sex and drug use. He was the nephew of DJ Paul and one of the co-founders of Three 6 Mafia. Ricky Terrell Dunigan (Novem– December 20, 2013), better known by his stage name Lord Infamous, was an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee.
