Lord Infamous (born Ricky Dunigan), also referenced in tracks as "The Scarecrow", "Keyser Soze" or "Tricky Ricky" is a member of Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia and rap collective Hypnotize Minds. Infamous was originally from South Memphis, Memphis. He is the biological half-brother of DJ Paul, whose legal name is Paul Beauregard. His lyrics in the early days of Three 6 Mafia were filled with references to murder and satanism, as well as drug abuse, which is his most commonly broached topic in recent years.

Lord Infamous was missing from the recently released Most Known Unknown in 2005, with comments on his disappearance varying from incarceration to vacation. One of the leaders of Three 6 Mafia, DJ Paul, implied that he was locked up on the Most Known Unknown, but made positive references to him (on Track 10: Half on a Sack). He never left the group, but was only incarcerated for a period. DJ Paul, Lord Infamous's brother, said in a recent interview that Lord Infamous has some personal issues he's taking care of, emphasizing that he's still a part of Three 6 Mafia and wasn't kicked out or left.

In a recent interview of Lil Wyte by HypnotizedCamp.net, Lil Wyte says that "Lord is Lord ... he will be back on when he wants to be back on." This further confirms that Lord Infamous chooses not to record music right now. However, he will start making public appearances with his Three 6 Mafia group mates, DJ Paul and Juicy J, when they begin promoting the next Tear the Club Up Thugs album scheduled to be released in the middle of 2007.

Recently, artist II Tone has said that he and Lord Infamous have started a label called Black Rain Entertainment, but he is still with Three 6 Mafia. His solo album is coming out in 2007.

In a recent interview by http://www.wordofsouth.com, DJ Paul says that Lord Infamous will not be on the new album "the Last 2 Walk."
