A cornerstone of Southern hip-hop, On Top of the World is the album that broke Eightball & MJG onto the national stage, cementing them as pioneers of the Memphis rap scene. 

Originally released in 1995, the album blends raw storytelling with spacey G-funk production, delivering classics like "Space Age Pimpin’," "Pimp in My Own Rhyme," and "Friend or Foe." Their ability to craft cinematic street narratives over lush, funk-driven beats made this album a defining release in Southern rap. As The Source wrote in their November 1995 Record Report review of the album, “Many of hip-hop’s finest started underground and went on to enjoy huge success”—and On Top of the World proved to be Eightball & MJG’s breakout moment, elevating their sound beyond regional acclaim. The album went on to be certified gold by the RIAA, further solidifying its impact and influence in the hip-hop landscape. 

Now, for the first time ever, Suave House Records in partnership with Coalmine Reissues is pleased to give this influential LP the celebration it deserves with a long-awaited return to vinyl.

This Collector’s Edition 2XLP features fully remastered audio, pressed on Black Ice/Neon Pink swirl “Candy Paint” vinyl, and finished with hand-numbered hype stickers.
