Juicy J Releases Jazz/Hip-Hop Album, ‘Ravenite Social Club’
Recording artist, Juicy J from the legendary Memphis hip-hop group, Three 6 Mafia has recently released a jazz-infused hip-hop project for his latest album release.
The name of the album is “Ravenite Social Club.” The title uses the name of a New York City venue by the same name that was located at 247 Mulberry Street in Little Italy and was rumored to be a mob hangout featuring the likes of John Gotti. Rock the Bells reported that Juicy J said, ” I got it from this social club outta New York where John Gotti used to hang out. I just thought it was a cool idea.”

According to HipHopDX, the album features Cordae, GRAMMY Award winner Robert Glasper and Emi Seacrest. This is the second album that Juicy J released this year. On May 21, he dropped a project named, “Mental Trillness 2” which was a follow-up to his “Mental Trillness” mixtape he released in 2023.
A song and video, “To You” was released that featured Glasper and Seacrest which served as a dedication to Juicy’s former group mate, Gangsta Boo, who died earlier this year after she was found unresponsive at a home in the rapper’s hometown, Memphis.
The group, Three 6 Mafia featured at various times, DJ Paul, Koopsta Knicca, Crunchy Black, Lord Infamous, along with Juicy J and Gangsta Boo. The group started in 1991 and released their first album in 1995, “Mystic Stylez.”
In a recent interview with Springhill’s podcast, “Two Ways About It,” Juicy expresses to fellow recording artist, Pennsyvlania’s own, Wiz Khalifa that he makes 90% off of the music artists’ sample from Three 6 Mafia.
“I get paid off of pretty much every song. Like 90% of the songs that’s out right now.”
Juicy J (@therealjuicyj) says he gets paid off 90% of the music that is out right now because of how many artists sample music from Three 6 Mafia — “I love when people sample.. every time I get that email, I approve.”

There may be more music on the way after HipHopDx reported last year that Juicy claimed he was dropping multiple albums this calendar year.
“I got about 7 albums I’m dropping 2024 I never worked this hard in my life,” he wrote on Twitter. “after this I’m gonna buy a house on the beach let my hair grow all the way out & become a full-time hippie.”
