8Ball & MJG Essentials

8 Ball & MJG are Memphis legends. With a vibe based around low-slung funk productions, the duo emerged from the underground to make moves with the influential Suave House label in the early-'90s. Pimp-focused lyrics helped 1995's On Top Of The World album hit gold status—an achievement matched by the club-centric sounds of the Living Legends project on P. Diddy's Bad Boy South label. Beyond group outings, both members can also claim a strong line of solo albums that come off as perfect for bumpin' in the ride.
