Scale-a-Ton (pronounced Skeleton) is the second solo album by Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul. It was released May 5, 2009. The album debuted at number 157 on the Billboard charts, selling 4,000 copies in its first week of sales. As of September 2011, the sales are 200,000.

Background

On his official YouTube channel, (which was later reported on AllHipHop), Paul stated that his brother, original Three 6 member Lord Infamous, will be contributing to the upcoming album.

He helped build Three 6 Mafia, and create Three 6 Mafia...Lord was just going through some things, and he had to get that together. We got it together now. We’re going to be back in the lab working.[3]

With partner Juicy J, DJ Paul played an important role in the South's rise within the rap industry. Three Six Mafia has sold over 7 million records, plus another 5 million from their affiliated artists, and even won an Academy Award. This CD will be Paul's Second official solo album, and features the singles "Jus Like Dat??" and "You Don't Want It," which are already receiving internet buzz.

Information

Lord Infamous appears on numerous tracks, and is the sole guest artist on the album. Most of the album consists of topics that fans are used to hearing Three 6 Mafia talking about already, such as shootouts, drugs, and the streets. One song, "Wanta Be Like You," however, is about how DJ Paul was inspired to get into music, stating that the accomplishments of singer Michael Jackson was his main influence.
