Background

DJ Paul and Lord Infamous were in the process of rebirthing the Come With Me 2 Hell series when Lord Infamous decided that it would be better to reform the old Three 6 Mafia instead. Gangsta Boo, Koopsta Knicca & Crunchy Black joined Paul and Infamous and reformed the old group under the new name Da Mafia 6iX. DJ Paul stated that he felt like it was a reunion, despite the absence of Juicy J. He thought of it rather as a whole new project and decided to give the group a new name out of respect for Juicy J.[3]

The mixtape was originally going to be called "Ressurlation", which was a meshing of the words Resurrection and Revelation, but was changed to "6iX Commandments" instead.[4] The mixtape is deemed by DJ Paul a sampler for the upcoming album Watch What U Wish... by Da Mafia 6iX, which was scheduled to be released in 2014.
