Ten Toes Down is the eighth studio album by the American southern hip hop duo 8Ball & MJG. The album was released on May 4, 2010, by Grand Hustle Records and E1 Music. This is the first album by the duo after leaving the Bad Boy South, before signing a record deal with the Grand Hustle label.[1] The album has guest appearances by T.I., Young Dro, Slim Thug and Bun B with production by T.I., as well as Nitti, Drumma Boy, Nard & B and Lil' C, among others. As of 2024, it is the latest studio album that the duo has released.
The album sold 20,000 copies in its first week, when it entered the US Billboard 200 chart at number 36.
The album's second single, "Bring It Back", was released on February 2, 2010. The song was produced by Nitti and includes guest vocals by their label-mate Young Dro.[2] The music video, directed by Gabriel Hart, was released on March 28, 2010.[3]
Mitchell Hannah of HipHopDX said, "Lacking evolution by continually conceding to major labels’ cookie-cutter templates, Ten Toes Down comes as a disappointment, especially for those from the B.C. era. Nevertheless, the album retains nostalgia value and places Ball & G among a select number of 20-year veterans that are able to stay remotely close to relevant."
The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 36, selling 16,000 copies in the United States in its first week.[4]
