“Last 2 Walk,” its first album since the excellent “Most Known Unknown,” from 2005, sounds like vintage Three 6 Mafia: bruising production, gloriously foul-natured lyrics, single-minded focus on life's pleasures – the humorously lewd “I'd Rather” and “Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)” – all under a cloud of paranoia.
And yet, even when Three 6 Mafia menaces, it's exuberant. Over the years, it has learned to create minor-key arrangements that bend in curious, exciting ways, seen here on “First 48” and “On Some Chrome,” a collaboration with UGK.
