Memphis-based rap group 8Ball MJG are set to release Ridin High, their sophomore release for Bad Boy Records, on February 13, 2007. The album is led by Relax and Take Notes, the club hit and first single, featuring Notorious B.I.
G. and Project Pat. ldquo;Ridin rsquo; High rdquo; is proving to be their strongest album ever, showcasing hard-hitting hip-hop, with a respectful nod to R B and the blues, on stand out tracks like the title track, Ridin High and Stand Up.
With 15+ years in the game, Eightball (Premro Smith) and MJG (Marlon Goodwin) have developed a sound that is still appreciated and emulated more than a decade after they stepped on the scene. 13 years after the release of their Suave House debut, ldquo;Comin rsquo; Out Hard, rdquo; and the string of successful releases that followed, the duo are still making their innovative brand of soul music. A testament to their unwavering relevance is their signing in 2002 to P.
Diddy rsquo;s Bad Boy Entertainment. What followed was 2004 rsquo;s ldquo;Living Legends, rdquo; their Bad Boy debut album, the major club hit, ldquo;Buck Bounce rdquo; with DJ Quick and ldquo;Stay Fly rdquo; with Three 6 Mafia (2005).
With Ridin High 8Ball MJG do what they do best, make good music.
When asked about their timeless sound, they reply: We never tried to keep up. We always just do us and you can call it what you want.
