One of the new mafia game
that set this album apart from anything Three 6 has put out in the past
is the number of features that come with it. UGK, Insane Clown Posse,
Big Gipp, Mr. Serv-On, Fiend, and Twiztid all made appearances on the
project. This album also toted some of Three Six Mafia’s most popular
and recognizable tracks including “Sippin’ On Some Sizzurp” and “I’m So
Hi” which both grew to be staples of underground rap history.
Commercially,
this album opened the door for Mafia City to ensure their place among
some of the titans of the era. Selling 1,000,000 copies in the year of
its release, When The Smoke Clears allowed the group to have the
following they needed for their forthcoming film Choices to be as
successful as it was.
Following
this album, Mafia City bloomed on the rap scene going on to release six
more highly successful albums as well two films and an Oscar for their
work on the Hustle and Flow soundtrack making them the only rap group to
receive the award.
How The Makers Of Mafia CityLost Their Way
In mid-2016, a few months before the release of their first game, Mafia City, the developers at Yottagame in Novato, California gathered for an all-hands meeting. There, according to two people in attendance, Christoph Hartmann, president of the game’s publisher, Yottagame, told employees that their bonuses would be tied to the game’s aggregate review score on Metacritic.
