On Top of the World Dropped 25 Years Ago by 8Ball & MJG
8Ball & MJG are my favorite duo ever in the hip hop. They were introduced to the world with their classic debut, Comin’ Out Hard. The 9 tracks album had the perfect title because the project was hard. After buying Comin’ Out Hard I was instantly a fan of 8Ball & MJG. The following year, 8Ball & MJG dropped their On Tha Outside Lookin’ In joint. On Tha Outside Lookin’ In was a tremendous album and one that I absolutely love. This is one that I’ve always remembered because it was released on my 17th birthday. The next year 8Ball & MJG came back out with their 3rd album under…
Listen and Stream 10 Classic Suave House Records Albums
Death Row and No Limit Records have always been my two favorite labels ever. My third one would have to be Suave House Records. Suave House Records was discovered by Tony Draper back in 1990. They housed artists like 8Ball & MJG, South Circle, Crime Boss, Tela and Mr. Mike. In the summer of 1993 is when I first discovered them when they dropped 8Ball & MJG’s debut album. Comin Out Hard was a southern classic and it put Suave House Records on the map. From 1993 to 1998, Suave House Records released several classic albums. After disappearing for a while, the label dropped more music, which included an album…

Rhyme and Reason Released 20 Years Ago Today
One of my most vivid memories of the 90s had to be the music. The middle part of that decade has been called the 2nd Golden Age of Hip Hop by many people. Another good memory from the 90s was the great soundtracks and movies that were produced then. One of those movies that produced a classic soundtrack was Rhyme and Reason. It was a documentary about rap and hip hop that featured interviews with at least 80 different artists from the likes of 2Pac, Biggie and Chuck D. Rhyme and Reason talked about how hip hop evolved from the beginning to the multi-billion dollar cultures it had become in…

Much-Anticipated Album Selah by Synik and Rod McCoy
Usually my Music Monday is dedicated to a track, but this is the much anticipated album from the homie Rod McCoy and Synik. They’ve been featured a few times before they released their album on the site and I’ve been a huge fan of their music, sound and vibe. I’ll be honest in that I love the old-school hip hop vibe and when I’m listening to this album it takes me back to that time like the ATlients Outkast or 8Ball & MJG. So if you’re a fan of hip hop and definitely the old-school flavor, make sure you check out this Selah album and joint the Selah movement and…

Piece of Mind from Tela Released 25 Years Ago Today
8Ball and MJG, Crime Boss, South Circle and Tela made Suave House one of my favorite record labels ever. On this day 25 years ago, Tela released his debut called Piece of Mind. I remember the first time I heard Tela, which was on the South Circle album and the track Unsolved Mysteries that featured 8Ball. Although I didn’t know much about Tela; seeing he was down with Suave House I bought the album the day it dropped. Let’s say that this album didn’t disappoint at all and if anything, it exceeded my expectations. The album featured Crime Boss, Mr. Mike, 8Ball & MJG and a few others. Despite not…

They dropped that album in the summer of 1993, and it was an instant classic. The following spring, they dropped On Tha Outside Lookin’ In.
