I'm not sure how this slipped under my radar, but I wanted to mention it, anyway. 8 Ball & MJG were featured on a track called "Bluff City Classic" on Kinfolk Kia Shine's album
"Due Season", which was released on July 31.
It appears that 8 Ball will be releasing an album with his protege, Devius. They've released a track called "Er Body Know Me". I hope to get some info on the album and will report back when I do.
From
AllHipHop.com:
The 5th Annual Texas Summer Music Conference (TXSMC) will honor Memphis rap veterans Eightball & MJG during this year's event taking place in Dallas, Texas this weekend.

As we talked about on
May 4, the "Ride Out" mini movie is compromised of the videos for
"Hickory Dickory Dock",
"Get Low",
"Take it Off" and
"Stand Up". Watch it below.
The video for "Take it Off" has also been
released. Watch it below (again, not loading well for me here).
Watch the video for "Stand Up" below. It's not loading very well for me at the moment.
HipHopGame.com has an interview with 8 Ball to go along with it.
Do you have any regrets over how "Ridin High" was handled?
Yeah, on everybody’s part. On me and MJG's part, on the label's... Everybody could have done things a little different. Yeah, I have regrets, but shit, we live and learn. ...
Will Eightball and MJG be going independent for the next album?
We'll have to see. Only time will tell, my friend. Only time will tell.
As
reported previously, the video's for "Hickory Dickory Dock" and "Get Low" debuted today. Watch the
Get Low video here and watch the "Hickory Dickory Dock" video below. Warning: obviously... very, very explicit content.
SOHH.com has an article talking about the video series.
And this is where the
"Get Low" video comes in (even if that one was a rough cut and not the finished version). 8 Ball & MJG will be launching a 20 minute mini movie on
MP3.com on May 11.
The movie, called "Ride Out", will be comprised of four music videos for songs from "Ridin High". In the first video "Hickory Dickory Dock", 8 Ball & MJG are in a ... uh... gentleman's club. This video will premiere on May 7 on
SOHH.com. In the second video,
"Get Low", the club is robbed. The "Get Low" video will premiere on May 7 on
AllHipHop.com.
The third video will be "Take It Off" - this video will be after the robbery, them leaving and making it back to their hotel. It'll premiere on
HipHopDX on May 9. The final video "Stand Up", featuring cameos from Bobby Valentino and David Banner, will premiere on
HipHopGame.com on May 9.
The video for "30 Rocks" will premiere on Bad Boy Blog on... just kidding.
And then, as I said, the entire thing will premiere on MP3.com on May 11.
I have to say, this is a cool thing to do and it should be interesting to see.
