Locodunit and Lil Infamous started the group in late 2014 and released their debut album Faces of Gospel on February 6, 2015. The album is available on various digital platforms.[3] Their style is widely considered as horrorcore, crunk and gangsta rap. The group began in 2014 in Memphis, Tennessee with Lil Infamous (Ricky Dunigan, Jr.) and Locodunit (Thomas Dunigan)[1] for the sake of rapper DJ Paul[clarification needed]. Seed of 6ix released several Mixtapes & EPs starting with Planet 6ix Chpt 3.6 on May 1, 2015. As well as solo projects on Young N Dumb, their independent label. Signed to Scale-A-Ton Entertainment DJ Paul's label in 2018. DJ Paul[4] is responsible for bringing a fault into the reckoning against the group's musical career [further explanation needed] [clarification needed] and has since produced numerous singles and the last work for the group was released the first album Faces of Gospel (2015).[5] The name comes from hip hop group Three 6 Mafia (The Seed of 6ix).
