Jordan Michael Houston III (born April 5, 1975), known professionally as Juicy J, is an American rapper and record producer. Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, he is a founding member of the Southern hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, established in 1991. He released ten studio albums with the group, which began as an underground act until attaining mainstream recognition and signing with Loud Records, an imprint of Columbia Records in 2000. The group's 2005 single, "Stay Fly", yielded their furthest commercial success, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, they recorded the song "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" for the film Hustle & Flow, which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
His first two studio albums, Chronicles of the Juice Man (2002) and Hustle Till I Die (2009), were self-released in between Three 6 Mafia projects. He further pursued his solo career during the group's hiatus in 2011, signing with Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records, an imprint of Columbia Records, and Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Entertainment (as both a recording artist and A&R) the following year. His 2012 single, "Bandz a Make Her Dance" (featuring Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz), peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and led his third album and major label debut, Stay Trippy (2013), which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. In the following two years, he guest appeared on the hit singles "23" by Mike Will Made It, "I Don't Mind" by Usher, "She Knows" by Ne-Yo, and the Grammy Award-nominated "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry, the latter of which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100. His fourth album, Rubba Band Business (2017), was met with commercial failure, and he returned to an independent career with his fifth album, The Hustle Continues (2020).
Alongside recording, Juicy J has been prolific in production work for other artists—having largely handled the production on Three 6 Mafia projects with DJ Paul—with credits on singles or albums for Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, T.I., Ludacris, Sexyy Red, GloRilla, and Chief Keef, among others. He is the younger brother of frequent collaborator and fellow Memphis rapper Project Pat.
