Mary J and Method Man have been linked together since 1994. In that year, the duo created a remix to Method Man's already popular track called "All I Need." With Mary J. Blige's additions and twist on it, the track became an instant classic. Shortly after, Diddy (or Puff Daddy as he was known at the time) incorporated new bits and pieces to enhance the track overall. He added some Biggie samples from the track "Me and My B*tch" and submitted the song for radio play. Those moves resulted in a track that ended up going platinum, a huge success for everyone involved.

Nearly 3 decades later, Mary J. Blige and Method Man's collaborative efforts are being displayed in other ways. Both artists play pivotal roles in the supporting cast on one of the hottest shows on television. A spinoff installation from 50 Cent's Power series, Power Book II: Ghost has continued the run the show created and has held viewership throughout its duration. Meth and Mary J's characters serve a strong purpose in the show, and they were awared NAACP Image Awards for said performances.
