Three 6 Mafia is hitting the studio to produce and record tracks with socialite

Paris Hilton for her debut album. The

collaboration sprang from a recent meeting between Hilton and the Oscar-winning

group.

"We ran into

her at a William Morris Agency party and she said she liked our song ‘Stay Fly’

and asked could we work with her," Jordan ‘Juicy J’ Houston told the Memphis

Commercial Appeal. "We let her listen to a dance track and she really

liked it and plans to record it."

Overall, the trio

looks forward to working with Hilton.

"We’re just

getting in the studio and putting together some more tracks for her." "From

there, we’ll see, but it will be a blast working with Paris Hilton. I mean she

is Paris Hilton."

Three 6 Mafia have

been on a role since winning the Oscar for Best Original Song for "It’s

Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the movie Hustle & Flow. The

group will be honored in Memphis Saturday (April 1) as a part of the city’s

Three 6 Mafia Day.

"Things are

big for us right now and this day only makes it bigger," said Houston.

Three 6 Mafia will

receive the key to the city during the event, which will be sponsored by the

City of Memphis, Memphis and Shelby County Music Commission, Memphis Music Foundation,

Memphis and Shelby County Film Commission and Memphis Grammy Chapter.

"Three 6 Mafia

has chosen to remain a part of the Memphis music community for the past 15 years,"

said Rey Flemings, president of the Memphis Music Foundation. "They thanked

Memphis when they accepted their Oscar and now it is Memphis’ turn to thank

them."

Three 6 Mafia Day

takes place Saturday from 5-7 p.m. at the Memphis Rock ‘N’ Soul.
