Mr. 3-2, born Christopher Barriere, was a well-respected figure in the Southern hip-hop scene, revered for his unique flow and authentic street narratives. Originating from Houston, Texas, he first made waves in the early 1990s as part of the pioneering Southern rap collective, the Convicts, with Big Mike, and was later associated with the Screwed Up Click. Mr. 3-2's deep, languorous voice became a staple in the Houston rap community, allowing him to stand out amidst a burgeoning scene of talented artists.

His solo career blossomed in the mid-90s with his debut album "The Governor," showcasing his lyrical dexterity and storytelling prowess. Continuing to build on his legacy, Mr. 3-2 dropped several albums and mixtapes that resonated with his audience, including "3-2 The Wicked Buddah Baby" and his "A Bad Azz Mixtape" series, which featured both regular and slowed & chopped versions in homage to the chopped and screwed style that Houston is known for. Over the years, he collaborated with a host of Southern rap luminaries and was respected for both his contributions to group efforts and his impactful solo projects. Mr. 3-2's untimely passing in November 2016 was a significant loss to the hip-hop community, but his music continues to influence a new generation of artists and fans alike.
