*Three 6 Mafia members Jordan "Juicy J" Houston and "DJ Paul" Beauregard are preparing for the release of their new album, "The Last 2 Walk," the first studio effort following their 2006 Oscar win for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp."

      "We're the last two dudes to walk," Juicy J told Billboard.com of the former six-member Memphis group, explaining the album title. "We've managed to stay true to our plan: making good music and building our label/production company. We are the two people who saw the dream. We'll never stop doing our thing."

      "We're grateful for the Oscar," said DJ Paul. "But we polished it, put it on the shelf and went back to the same frame of mind we've had the last 18 years."

       "It's time for us to shake hands, throw back with the locals and make new friends as we promote this album," Juicy J said. "We had to get back to the main thing: music and our fans."      

       The Hypnotize Minds/Columbia Records project streets on June 24. The first single, "Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)" featuring Project Pat, was co-produced by Superpower and Hypnotize Minds artist Yung D and is currently No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
