Lord Infamous (born Ricky Dunigan on November 17, 1975 in Memphis, Tennessee) was a member of the Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia. He also goes by the aliases Scarecrow and Keyser Söze. Lord Infamous has been a member since its inception in 1991 and has played a critical role in the underground success of the multi platinum-selling group. Best known for his often horrific, diabolical, violent lyrics and ability to rap in many different styles, Lord Infamous along with Koopsta Knicca are arguably the main reasons behind the "666" in the name "Triple 6 Mafia."

Lord Infamous stands out from the rest of the group by demonstrating his superb ability to tell horrifying stories about his "psychopathic" tendencies. Infamous is arguably the most versatile rapper since he has many styles of rapping: He can tongue twist the most complex rhymes; he can be mellow and laid back; or he can be the most ruthless and sinister on the microphone by changing his voice to emulate a sort of creature from the underworld. Without a doubt, his fans consider his lyrics as thought provoking and much less materialistic than some rappers. Lord Infamous is probably one of the best rappers to come out of the South.

Lord Infamous has been recording since the early 1990s with his brother and co-founder of Three 6 Mafia, DJ Paul. Together they have several underground tapes, including the two-part cult sensation "Come With Me 2 Hell." His first solo album, "Lord of Terror," was released locally as an underground tape in 1994.

Although Three 6 Mafia constantly states that what they describe in their music is only entertainment, many people consider their music degenerative since it glorifies sex, drugs, violence, and demonic behavior.

Currently, Lord Infamous has been away from the spotlight Three 6 Mafia is enjoying lately, but has started his own label, Black Rain Entertainment. He plans to release his long awaited solo album, "The Man, The Myth, The Legacy," on October 23, 2007. It is uncertain when (or if) he will rejoin Three 6 Mafia. Since his departure, he has collaborated with former members Koopsta Knicca on the track "Authors of Authors" and Kingpin Skinny Pimp on the track "Wit It."
