Welcome to the Work N Progress Podcast, a show where four Black men have honest conversations about personal growth, accountability, entrepreneurship, music, relationships, and navigating life as we continue to evolve.

On this episode of Work N Progress Podcast, we sit down with hip hop legend 8Ball from the iconic duo 8Ball & MJG for a real conversation about growth, business, and evolving as a man and artist.

We talk about his journey from legendary Southern hip hop to entrepreneurship, including the coffee brand he started with his son and what it means to build something generational. We also dive into new music, staying creative over time, and how perspective changes as you grow.
Work N Progress is all about real conversations, accountability, and personal growth, and this episode is a great example of what it looks like to keep evolving.
