Released at the perfect time — just as Three 6 Mafia was enjoying their first genuine crossover hit, “Stay Fly” — Most Known Hits compiles most of the group’s best songs from over the years, stretching back all the way to the stand-out Chapter 2: World Domination album. Most Known Hits thankfully incorporates some of the one-off albums affiliated with Three 6 Mafia over the years, including the Choices soundtrack, the Hypnotize Camp Posse, and Tear da Club Up. All that’s really missing are the group’s better-known underground recordings, of which there are many. For instance, there’s nothing here from the group’s breakthrough Mystic Stylez album — only songs from the major-label releases that began with Chapter 2. Since most of Three 6 Mafia’s albums were filled to the brim with music, and were, by nature, uneven, it’s nice to have a best-of like this. Newly intrigued listeners who were turned on to Three 6 Mafia in the wake of “Stay Fly” should find this release very beneficial. It’s a cost-effective way to sample the deep Three 6 Mafia back catalog. – Jason Birchmeier
