Moka Only – “In and of Itself”

Vancouver emcee, producer and visual artist Moka Only shares his latest album, In and of Itself, released via URBNET. With a career spanning over three decades, alongside countless awards and nominations, Moka Only has cemented himself as a staple in the Canadian Hip Hop scene. Throughout his decorated career, Moka has won over a devoted fanbase drawn to his innovative mix of hip hop, jazz, funk and soul, a sound that is on full display with this brand new record.

In classic Moka Only fashion, this 17-track album was self-produced and recorded in the spring of 2021 out of his home studio. From front to back, Moka’s stream-of-consciousness and multi-layered rhymes float effortlessly over his warm production, and are complemented by an array of soulful hooks and melodies. The album is eclectic, vibrant, and joyful, which is Moka’s signature style on and off the mic. In addition to the musical aspect of the album, Moka Only’s talents as a visual artist are showcased on In and of Itself, featuring an amazing acrylic painting that the artist created for the album art.
