Recently, HHS1987 caught up with Hip-Hop legends 8 Ball and MJG during the 2014 A3C festival to discuss their career, the important of A3C, their new project “Timeless”, Memphis’ hip-hop culture and much more.
With 8 Ball and MJG in town to perform during A3C’s Pimp C tribute, 8 Ball & MJG sat down to discuss their longevity in rap and how it has shaped their career. Having been in the game for over 20 years, 8 Ball and MJQ spoke on the evolution of hip-hop in the south and how their music helped shift a change in hip-hop and helped the South earn the respect of rappers across the nation.
8 Ball & MJG also took a moment to discuss A3C and the importance of the event for artist. With A3C celebrating their tenth year anniversary, 8 Ball and MJG discussed how the event helps artist not only showcase their talent but also learn the business side of the industry.
Before concluding the interview we spoke to 8 Ball & MJG about their A3C performance honoring Pimp C, growing up in the Orange Mound, Memphis’ hip-hop culture and their two new projects. 8 Ball and MJG are set to release a live band greatest hits with some of their classic singles and a brand new project entitled “Timeless” in the next few months.
