My Take
DJ Paul earns my respect for one improbable line on his resume: an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2006, a first for hip hop. As a founding member of Three 6 Mafia out of Memphis, he came from the genre's grittiest underground and ended up holding an Oscar. That arc, from raw Southern rap to the industry's most establishment award, says a lot about his ambition and adaptability. He has since worn many hats as producer, entrepreneur, and music executive. I value artists who refuse to stay in one lane, and his Capricorn-like persistence makes him genuinely interesting to follow.
