Oscar-winning Memphis rappers Three 6 Mafia are trying to lend hotel heiress Paris Hilton a little "street cred" with her upcoming album.

Jordan "Juicy J" Houston told the Memphis Commercial Appeal the rappers met the "The Simple Life" star at a Hollywood party -- and after complimenting them on their song, "Stay Fly," she asked the trio to help her with her musical debut.

He said "she really liked" a dance track they played for her and the four would be meeting a Los Angeles studio to lay down some tracks.

"It will be a blast working with Paris Hilton," he said. "I mean she is Paris Hilton."

The trio will break from recording and be home Saturday as their hometown celebrates "Three 6 Mafia Day."

The rappers will be presented with a key to the city in a ceremony at the Memphis Rock 'N' Soul Museum.
