Lola Chantrelle[1] Mitchell (born August 7, 1979), better known by her stage name Gangsta Boo, is an American rapper. She was the first female member of the Memphis-based hip hop group Three 6 Mafia. She left the group and label months after the release of her second album, Both Worlds *69, due to money disputes and issues regarding promotion of her album sometime in 2002.
Early life[]
Boo was born in the Whitehaven area of Memphis, Tennessee, on August 7, 1979.
Music career[]
Boo's first solo album, Enquiring Minds, was released in 1998 and reached number fifteen on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 46 on the Billboard 200.[2][3] The album featured the surprise hit "Where Dem Dollas At!?"[4]
Boo released her second album Both Worlds *69 in 2001, which reached number eight on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart and number 29 on the Billboard 200.[5][6] In 2003, she released her third album, Enquiring Minds II: The Soap Opera. The album peaked at number 53 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart and 24 on the Independent Albums chart.[7][8]
In 2009, Boo released her third official mixtape The Rumors (following her previous mixtapes Street Ringers Vol. 1 & Still Gangsta). She also released two mixtapes with DJ Fletch, Miss.Com (No DJ Version on iTunes) and 4 Da Hood. On Monday, June 27, 2011, she released her new mixtape with Trap-A-Holics, Forever Gangsta. In 2013, she joined the Three 6 Mafia spin-off group Da Mafia 6ix, and was significantly featured on their debut mixtape 6ix Commandments.[9] She departed from the group in 2014.[10] On October 14, 2014, Gangsta Boo teamed up with Beat King and released a collaborative mixtape, Underground Cassette Tape Music.[11]
