Each Successive year has seen a greater level of recognition for the emcee, who came up through NYC's hyper-competitive battle and mixtape circuit before hooking up with one of the most influential crews in rap music. MOONGA, his debut album is built for repeated listens, in the tradition of worn out walkman rotation tapes. From blown out jeep beats to club bangers to reflective meditations on responsibility, MOOGA is the work of an artists on the come-up. Expect big things from one of rap music's new stars.
