A product of the Dirty South school of hip-hop in the 1990s, Boo’s edgy raps and frank sexuality made her an energetic Memphis counterpart to Philadelphia rapper Eve, Brooklyn’s Lil’ Kim and Miami’s Trina.

Like those female rappers, Boo’s start came with a prominent regional crew — Three 6 Mafia, founded by DJ Paul, Juicy J and Lord Infamous — with whom she recorded a handful of studio albums until her departure in 2002.

But, along with a prominent solo career starting with 1998’s “Enquiring Minds” and its signature single, “Where Dem Dollas At,” Boo guested on tracks with Eminem, Gucci Mane, Run the Jewels, OutKast, Lil Wayne, Blood Orange, Latto and more.

Discussing her influence on the next generation of rappers, Gangsta Boo told last month "Billboard": "I have to admit, respectfully and humbly, that I am the blueprint. I hear my cadence in a lot of men and female rappers."

Sie war eines der Vorbilder für aktuelle Star-Rapperinnen wie Megan Thee Stallion oder Cardi B: Gangsta Boo rappte schon als Teenager in den Neunzigerjahren offensiv über Sex und Macht, Geld und Drogen. Mit der von ihrem Schulfreund DJ Paul gegründeten Gruppe Three 6 Mafia gehörte sie zu den Pionierinnen des »Dirty South«, der Welle des Südstaaten-Hip-Hops, der die Szene durcheinanderwirbelte. Später nahm sie Soloplatten auf und rappte Gaststrophen für prominente Künstler.

Drei Studioalben

In dem Jahr, in dem sie Three 6 Mafia verliess, veröffentlichte Mitchell ihr zweites Album, «Both Worlds *69», gefolgt von ihrem letzten Studioalbum, «Inquiring Minds II: The Soap Opera» (2003). Auch ohne ein grosses Studio im Rücken veröffentlichte Mitchell regelmässig Mixtapes und war auf den Tracks anderer Künstler zu hören, darunter Run the Jewels, Junglepussy und Blood Orange.
