dropped on spotify on christmas, Shit is fire. better than the martian mix IMO. looks like it might have originally been made in 2003 which is nuts to me cause it sounds fresh.


werd.

It was indeed made in 2003. California sessions vol. 1 dropped in 2015 as well.


'Not Possible' is a monster jam.

All this stuff sounds the same. I became bored of him listening for just an afternoon. I'm not saying that he isn't talented, but making 10 dope songs that all sound the same makes a boring album just like doing the same album over and over makes a boring catalog.

Even two albums a year would be better. I also tried to just listen to the best one and ended up bouncing from album to album until I didn't care.

There has been an issue of "more of the same" with him that makes his enormous output less interesting. As much as I'm a fan of his sound, I don't listen and think "I want two dozen more albums that sound just like THIS." It's no slight, I don't think I'd say that about any album.

I check for: Serengeti, Zeroh, Open Mike Eagle, Jeremiah Jae, Moka Only.

rushed albums.

They'll all be good listens because he's very good at this hip-hop stuff, but they'll be largely indistinguishable from each other.

You could cop January, April, and August; I could pickup February, July, and December and neither of us would REALLY be missing anything.

I like Moka and so far behind on his tunes, I probably listen to two or three albums a year from him, knowing all are dope but like some said his output is kind of dismissing, sometimes I wish he would give his dope beats to others to rhyme over and keep the best 20 for himself not all 300 beats.

The good thing is there's no time limit on when you get around to his stuff. I just discovered him 2011 and am only now feeling like I have command over his 2003 and beyond output.




Don't sleep on Maaaaartiiiaaaan....

I don't care if a lot of the shit (largely) has a similar sound. I'll never complain about getting good quality consistency.

If it weren't good I would be like eh, and although most of it has the same aesthetic, I don't mind checking for the latest stuff, and even enjoying most of it.

Love how people take issue with too much output as though that is watering down his product. "it all sounds the same" - GOOD, I'm glad it doesn't just all of a sudden suck. There are plenty of artists who change, flip the script, experiment, let dude do his thing since he does it better than most.

The album's inspired by "the brutalist movement in architecture, an off-shoot of modernist style" . Crazy, right?

First single, "It's Brutal": http://tmblr.co/ZYjhzt1-xgwOf

This shxt BANGS.

... Charter member, but I don't post much. LAZERS.

it all sounds basically the same.

And he has some borderline cringe worthy rhymes sometimes. Quality Control would be beneficial.

Like, the raps sounds kinda rushed.

I thought his music was mostly clean/edited, why did I think that? Is that just certain releases?

Really? I'm not one to argue opinions because that's pointless (imo), but I love this song. Eh, well, different scratches for different itches *shrug*

Than the last 5 moka songs?

Last ten?

Dude is cool...the vibe is dope. But what is the audience
getting that they haven't gotten before??

No one has been able to give a compelling
reason to think all his sh!t isn't basically
the same?

What is the latest moka release bringing that
the previous 3 didn't??

well... I like how "It's Brutal" sounds. It bangs. Funny lyrics,
dope delivery, super catchy hook. I dunno about comparing it to
his 50 other albums, since I listen to music one song at a time.
So I'm not hearing it they way you seem to be describing.

It's dope.

I'm a relatively new Moka Fan, haven't heard the new record yet but this describes every single Moka album I've heard (which is only like 4, so take that with a grain of salt)

well, here's why I disagree... the albums are similar, but smaller batches of them sound different, like the martian xmas's are way more melodic and eerily cheery... lotta stuff is more nocturnal, like "Suck A D*ck and Do Lunch" and The Nope... "Brutal" has a lot of its own thing going, sort of his "trains" and "building blocks" style, if I'm making any sense...

but why is a person making a lot of music that has a sound linking it all together a Bad Thing?

I think what dude really wants to say is that he DOESN'T LIKE MOKA'S MUSIC. All that "too much of it sounds the same" seems a bit of a justification. Well, I say, eff it. Screw what I think, just don't like what you don't like, and roam free. I don't like a LOTTA shxt. It doesn't get airtime from me either, and I DEFINITELY don't run around here talking about it.

But why would I hear a person whose music I like, find out they made 50 albums, and be mad because they have a sound? I don't get that.

But do you. and DON'T LIKE it, all day... but you don't need a reason to. Roam free.

And you're NOT gonna convince me not to like what sounds good to me. And I'm not mistaken. The shxt sounds good. You're not gonna convince anyone else, for that matter. But whateverrrrrrrrrrrrrr

LOL right? Like...I'm baffled at this "beef" folks have with Moka.

I just love the fact that he's still doing it and at least 80% sounded good to me. No, I don't play it all the time but I don't play anything all of the time. Music is voluminous now.

And I think for me that's part of the appeal...he's kind of a one-take, freestyle, go with the flow type of artist and I mean yeah....he doesn't challenge himself too much but it's largely consistent (to me).

I wonder if any of the next albums in the pipeline will be instrumental joints?

I don't look to him for lyrical miracles and I'm almost always on board for his one-take, rap about whatever steez, but I mean.........he doesn't HAVE to rap or sing on everything, right? I'd be down for another "BBQ Horse Contest" type album.

Just got an email for another installment from Moka Only "I'm Delighted" which is an instrumental/beat tape, pretty dope, here's what he says about this release.

-------------------------------------------------
Well here it is, I'm delighted to present you with this work of art. It's been a minute since I've made an instrumental album. I feel it was overdue, and I would like to continue with similar genres in the future.

This project feels special, the aim was to have an eclectic mix of sounds and styles rather than focus on the future. The majority of the tracks are brand spanking new, yet I still pulled from the unheard archives with tracks like: "Everybody Knows" and "Sunny Bap". Even a track such as: "True Googz" has a backstory, it is an unfinished piece from a project I've been working on slowly over the years with Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde.

If there is a major theme to be gleaned from this project, I would say that I tried to use a similar template as the Magickal Weirdness album, in that the tracks are short, multilayered and overall intended to take the listener through a bit of a journey. The album starts upbeat and gradually fades into a melancholic territory before the sunshine appears toward the end to round out the album.

Much respect to Noah Becker who played sax on both “Bellhowse” and “Going In” (where he also played Fender Rhodes piano and I played synths and xylophone). Big shouts to everybody who made it onto the intro track. Interestingly, all of the folks on it are people I've worked with, both old and new since Jump... even URBNET is vocally represented! I hope this album helps set up the summer season for you and stay tuned for the next installment in the #12albumsFor2016series.

Much love to all of YOU!

---------------------------------------------------
This one can also come with a purchase of a t-shirt, I just wish these releases are made on vinyl though.

It's so, so good. Moke is now a state of mind.

lank: http://urbnet.bandcamp.com/album/presents-malkin-jackson-summerland

The entire album will be released to hear on June 25th, this is what he says about this release:

MALKIN JACKSON SUMMERLAND.

Okay, where to start? Here? Okay! Upon first listen, you will realize Malkin is just a different angle of my world. An alias, if you want. The bulk of this projects was created in 2012 after some time spent in the Okanagan region of BC. Something about that area makes the mind expand.

As for the tracks, “Crystal Ballin” sets the tone of the project, it’s about looking into a foggy crystal ball. "Electric and One" is like Malkin's magick number. It's better than a hundred and one. It's electric. “High Noon” sounds like rolling hills. Malkin is on his Ogopogo shit. He loves some jazz guitar, and stopping in peach-land. “Make Em” was brought to you by the most wonderful rapper in the world, Malkin is a museum. Proto trap rap, maybe? Or more like Malkin doodoo-ing on your do not-ness. “Mrroww” cannot be quantified entirely. When your life is the 'horrrrrrrrrn' you pretty much make it up as you go along. Dave Psy came up with the riveting hook. He knew this was a blank slate. How round!

“Clatterbox” simply clatters for a minute. Cowbells and cow-gates. Kalamalka shit. "Provolone" proves that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that Malkin is an indie rock gawd. The guy is in bombardier jets after all. How ripe! How ravishing! “Styling” is either a brag fest or an accurate description of a dream unfolding. It's your call as much as Malkin's. But when he gets his style on you may question your questions. How important! “Simple dreams” is just that. A man evaluating changes in his path, his old ways may have severed ties, or he is just at a rest-stop for a bit until the world catches up with his tropical optimism. That man is Ishkan. “Summerland” is the title track, how nifty! Some of us tend to disappear deeply into vibration. Why is this guitar not a guitar? Imagine it's evening somewhere along lake Okanagan. Are you there? Good.

“The Curator” every project needs one. Malkin is it. Malkin is yours. He is just coming on your world as his magick becomes more focused. What does the track make you picture overall? You should tell me. “To do it up” is a summer favorite. This track may sum up the album most correctly. Are those dogs barking on the track? Maybe they are? Wandering around the hills in West Summerland with a popcicle. Gonna take a rest under a willow tree.

“Wants Gots” tells you that all will be as good as you direct it to be. The mind is a stove. Tradition makers. “Milk and Pepsi” is not Malkin's favorite beverage by any means, but it is notable enough to have him include it here. Some time had elapsed since 'Wants Gots' before Malkin penned it, about four years in fact! These are more instructions to help you function better in summertime and if your night ends with you and a dram drinking milk and Pepsi, then all is still okay in the world! An evening track certainly.

So there it is, I present the SUMMERLAND album! You may replay it now, and marvel at its many aspects. Then contemplate if you are awake enough to wade through all of its esoteric properties. Moka produced the entire project. Val Halla may have invented Malkin inadvertently. Aries may have perpetuated his mythical actuality. Goodnight!

I've gone back bought some older shit too...

He has something...something I like a lot

He's a jam factory. Dude has go to vocal moves on some Hakeem The Dream in the post shit that work every time. He can just add a "la la la la laaaaa" to a hook and the song soars.



Also, evry time I'm seeing a girl and they hear Moke's music they instantly like it. His stuff plays well to females.

The Beats are whoooooweee. Better than any of the sheit that came out in the last month for sheeeze

https://smallprofessor.bandcamp.com

I haven't been listening to these releases like I want to, some I've skimmed thru some I ignored all together cause I didn't want to get hooked and end up buying something when I got bills to pay.

When I get a better job I'm just going to start buying everything he got in sight but for now I listen to maybe one album from beginning to end once every few months...by then he done put out two more releases.....damn Moka chill for a minute, LOL.
