Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J joined rapper Wiz Khalifa‘s Taylor Gang last year.

“Yes sir, Juicy J is now with Taylor Gang,” J revealed in an interview. “We’re going in this year. 2012, we’re going in. Y’all heard it, y’all know it’s the business. It’s going down, man. Man, man, it’s going down. We got a big compilation album that we’re doing. It’s going down. When you hear it, you’re going to be like, ‘Wow.’ You’re going to be like, ‘Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.'” (Hood Rich Radio)
