Moka Only

Among Canada’s busiest B-boys, Moka Only can be an incredibly prolific musician. Since he made an appearance in the hip-hop picture within the in early ’90s, the Vancouver-based MC and manufacturer self-released greater than a dozen full-length cassettes of his materials. However, it got many years for him to attract wide-spread attention, by way of a cooperation with fellow Canadian Len and his very own official debut record. Teamed with partner in rhyme Prevail, Moka Just started freestyling at home parties as an adolescent, before going to NORTH PARK in 1994 and starting up with such like-minded hip-hoppers as Mr. Brady. Time for Vancouver another season, Moka and Prevail shaped Swollen Members staff with another regional MC, Madchild. Nevertheless, Moka also started placing out his very own solo materials on cassettes he distributed, finally resulting in his appearance in the multi-platinum offering You Can’t Prevent the Bum Hurry, the 1999 debut record through the Beastie Boys-style Toronto hip-hop clothing Len. 2 yrs afterwards, Moka was prepared to drop some brand-new paths of his very own, and released GREEN on Battleaxe Information, the label he’d helped discovered. His long-awaited formal debut, a couple of thoughtful, occasionally abstract rhymes established to melodic, jazzy support much like De La Spirit or even a Tribe Called Search, demonstrated that despite his prodigious result of days gone by, Moka had a lot of great brand-new materials as well.
