8Ball & MJG are a rap duo from Memphis, Tennessee. The two rappers met at Ridgeway Middle School in 1980.
They first appeared on the rap scene with their 1992 underground album Listen To The Lyrics. In 1993, they released Comin'
Out Hard, the album was successful commercially as well as critically and established the group as a prominent act in the then
emerging Southern Rap scene. Their subsequent albums in the 1990's including 1994's On the Outside Looking In, and 1995's On
Top of the World cemented their status as some of the South's best rappers. On Top of the World was particularly successful,
peaking at #8 on the Billboard Hot 200 and being certified Gold. It also contained the song "Space Age Pimpin'", which was 8Ball
& MJG's first single to chart, reaching #58 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles and Tracks chart and #22 on the Hot Rap Singles
chart. After those albums both 8Ball & MJG released solo albums, first MJG's No More Glory in 1997 and then 8Ball's Lost in 1998.
They reunited in 1999 to release their fourth album as a group, titled In Our Lifetime, Vol. 1. One year later in 2000 they
released their fifth group album, entitled Space Age 4 Eva. « hide |
