Track From success Mystic Stylez Paul and Juicy produced Skinny album King Of Da Playaz Ball, which sold over 60,000 units without radio play But in a desperate monetary situation Skinny signed all the rights of his albums with Paul and Juicy for only $ 10,000.

--Movie
In 2005 after seeing the film Hustle & Flow Skinny Pimp saw the film as a story of his life, he went to Craig Brewer and told me about his idea of making a movie about the Memphis rap featuring native rappers and their stories of how they got her started in the industry.

One of the original rappers to emerge from Memphis - alongside Eightball & MJG, Three 6 Mafia, and Tela during the mid-'90s -- Kingpin Skinny Pimp never quite matched the success of his more well-known peers, yet he still forged himself a long-lasting and influential recording career that carried on into the next decade. Born Derrick Dewayne Hill and raised in the rough Dixie Homes area of North Memphis by his grandfather, Skinny Pimp began rapping in 1985 while attending Herman Junior High School. Several years later, he began making waves throughout the Memphis region -- first alongside DJ Squeeky and his crew, then alongside the rival Three 6 Mafia camp after defecting. Throughout the early '90s, the Memphis underground peddled mix tapes, but that changed in 1995 when Three 6 Mafia formed its own record label, Prophet Entertainment, and issued its debut album, Mystic Stylez, on which Skinny Pimp performed. A year later he made his own album debut, King of da Playaz Ball (1996), which DJ Paul and Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia produced and released on Prophet. That same year, Basix Records released Skinny But Dangerous (1996), a collection of his older underground recordings also produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J. Skinny Pimp's partnership with Three 6 Mafia didn't last long, and he was soon out on his own while his former affiliates went on to substantial underground success. Regardless, Skinny Pimp stayed on the grind and kept recording one album after another throughout the remainder of the decade and into the next.
