Gangsta Boo (born Lola Mitchell on August 7, 1979), also known as Lady Boo, was a member of the Memphis, Tennessee-based rap group Three 6 Mafia's Hypnotize Mindz, self-proclaimed Queen of the South, the Undisputed Underground Queen (U.G.Q), and is the Co-Queen of Memphis, Tennessee alongside fellow former Three 6 Mafia associate, La' Chat.
She was the sole female member of the group, which she left after the release of the album When the Smoke Clears: Sixty-6, Sixty-1. Mitchell left the group due to a falling out with several of its members, and following a public conversion in 2001 to Christianity. In 2003, Mitchell said, regarding her religious faith, that she was "still making mistakes," though she was "learning from 'em now." She added that her "relationship with [her] higher power" was "a personal thing"
"I wanted to change my name because of the stereotype that goes with 'Gangsta this' and 'Gangsta that.' "I wasn't living the gangster lifestyle, so I wanted to lose the name. Everybody was always telling me that it didn't fit me anyway. I was young. I grew up and matured, so I decided to go with 'Lady Boo,' since I say Lady Boo in my raps anyway." Since the release of her 2003 effort, she has maintained the emcee name "Gangsta Boo".
As of last year, there has been an ongoing competition from female rappers hailing from the South. Khia, Jacki-O and Trina have all claimed to be the "Queen of the South". Khia argues that her Gold selling 2002 effort Thug Misses and continuing fan base gives her the upper hand on wearing the crown. Miami, Florida native Trina, who was introduced to the world through Trick Daddy's Thug.com in 1998, claims thus far she is the most established female rapper coming out of the south.
