Suave House Records, in collaboration with Coalmine Reissues, proudly presents the first ever vinyl reissue of On Top Of The World by Eightball & MJG, celebrating the album’s 30^th anniversary. This groundbreaking 1995 release, a cornerstone of Southern hip-hop, not only cemented the duo’s status as Memphis legends but also propelled them onto the national stage, highlighting their exceptional talent and unique sound.

At a time when the East and West Coasts dominated the rap scene, On Top Of The World brought the Third Coast into the conversation with its masterful storytelling, slick production, and unparalleled chemistry between 8Ball and MJG. The album climbed the charts, peaking at #8 on the Billboard 200, earning gold certification, and proving that Southern hip-hop had a unique and powerful voice in the game.

Key singles like “Space Age Pimpin’” were instrumental in this breakout. The smooth, infectious track lit up airwaves across the country, reaching #58 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and #22 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. Meanwhile, “Pimp in My Own Rhyme” underscored the duo’s lyrical prowess and contributed to the album’s widespread acclaim.

On Top Of The World remains a hallmark of 1990s hip-hop—a testament to Eightball & MJG’s ability to carve out their own lane. This reissue is a must-have for fans, celebrating a record that propelled Southern rap to new heights and cemented its rightful place in hip-hop history.

Critical Praise:

“Comin' Out Hard and On the Outside Looking In established 8Ball and MJG as hardcore rap artists, but it was On Top of the World that cemented the Southern duo's place in hip-hop history.” -XXL

“And what Eightball and MJG were known for was snatching soul music — secular R&B fused with gospel in a union that had been painful — and putting it to work for a new generation.” -NPR

“Back in the 1980s, it was impossible to predict, but the friendship eventually spawned more than a half dozen gold records for albums like Comin’ Out Hard, On the Outside Looking In, and On Top of the World, which were replete with the keyboard loops, live instrumentation, and on-point samples that put Orange Mound— and therefore, Memphis—on the map in the early ’90s.” -Wax Poetics
