Editorial Reviews
8Ball is one half of the rap duo 8Ball & MJG. The group is pioneers of Southern rap from Memphis, TN. In the early '90s aligned with the Houston, TX-based independent label Suave Records, they quickly garnered a tremendous regional following while proving highly influential to a generation of aspiring, independent-minded rap artists and entrepreneurs. The duo enjoyed increasing recognition as the years passed, releasing a couple albums, namely Comin' Out Hard (1994) and In Our Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1999), that would become Southern rap milestones, along with classic singles like "Space Age Pimpin'." 8Ball & MJG eventually left Suave for a major label, JCOR/Interscope, in 2000, and then were signed by Diddy to Bad Boy Records, resulting in their most commercially successful album to date, Living Legends (2004). In addition, 8Ball & MJG recorded individually, the former by far the more prolific of the two. Ever since the duo's 1993 successful debut ''Comin' Hard" 8Ball & MJG have been at the forefront of the southern rap movement.

Love the album especially the opening track indestructible. I have always preferred 8Ball's smooth delivery over MJG's rough vocals, so any album I can get with 8Ball by himself I buy. To me 8ball sounds best rapping over nice soft R & B beats, with bass baging in the background & this album delivers. I love his smooth flow. If you are a fan of his like me, get the album. As usual 8Ball brings it.

One of the finest elder statesmen of southern rap release "Lifes Quest" that imparts alot of wisdom
July 30, 2012
Format:MP3 Music
"Life's Quest" carries an overall lighter tone and more radio friendly than March's "Premro" mixtape. Single "Good Girl Bad Girl" and "Don't Bring Me Down" featuring 2 Chainz and a hypnotic stop-start beat, are low-stakes sex and party jams, respectively. The album is well polished album that balances a mixed bag of beats and subject matter. If your fan of 8ball this an album that is must a have.

Dope like an 8ball
If you don't know about 8ball then you don't really know rap music. Ball's been going strong for almost 20 years and has been at the top of the heap before. Read more

A nice, smooth, and meaningful album
This was a surprising one since I was expecting less but I was not expecting much anyways. It is a small, nicely put together LP with a good bit substance. Read more
