8Ball & MJG in Atlanta

8Ball & MJG are an American rap duo formed in Memphis in 1984. Their measured delivery and bass-heavy Southern hip-hop are heard across albums including Comin’ Out Hard, On Top of the World and Living Legends; their best-known tracks include “Space Age Pimpin’” and “You Don’t Want Drama.” At a 2022 Verzuz show at The Eastern in Atlanta, 8Ball & MJG were paired with UGK for a celebration of the two groups’ catalogs. Two years later, they performed a Tiny Desk concert at NPR Music in Washington, D.C., using a live band to revisit “Lay It Down,” “Mr. Big” and other tracks from their catalog.
