Highlights on the disc include “Cruzin’,” an outstanding R&B collaboration with Slim from ATL’s 112 and Three 6 Mafia, the bluesy “Runnin’ Out of Bud” with Killer Mike and the steamy track “Take It Off” featuring Poo Bear. Jazze Pha adds his smooth R&B flavor to “Pimpin’ Don’t Fail Me Now,” and Yung Joc heats up the hot party track “Clap On.” “Memphis,” an impassioned track produced by B Rock and featuring Al Kapone, is a well-constructed gem that finds the duo paying homage not only to their hometown but to their musical legacy as well. They vividly recount their life experiences and give props to other cities that have impacted their lives over the years.
Making this CD was easy for Eightball & MJG. As always, they knew what they wanted to say and went into the studio and said it. Their approach to making music is purely organic. “We don’t procrastinate on it because it’s not meant to be if you’ve gotta do all that,” MJG reasons. “You know that old saying, ‘You study long, you study wrong.’ That’s what we go by.”
