8Ball & MJG – Comin’ Out Hard (1993)

8Ball & MJG – Comin’ Out Hard (1993)

Widely regarded as one of the most important albums to ever come out of Memphis, Comin’ Out Hard marked the true arrival of 8Ball & MJG on a national level. Released on August 17 1993, the tape introduced their raw, street-focused storytelling and chemistry that immediately set them apart from the rest of the Southern rap scene. Built on heavy basslines, gritty narratives, and a no-frills approach, this album laid the foundation for everything that followed in their career. Tracks like “Armed Robbery” and “Comin’ Out Hard” became defining records not just for the duo, but for Memphis rap as a whole. The inclusion of earlier material like “Pimps In The House” also ties this release directly back to their underground cassette-era roots. This is an essential release — a cornerstone tape that helped push Memphis rap out of the underground and into broader recognition without sacrificing its authenticity.
