Musa Major Preview His New Album Moxie

Moxie is defined as the force of character, determination or nerve. Moxie is what Hip-Hop all about. It takes nerve to stand for something that the world is collectively against. How dare those people want to be heard! How dare those people for wanting equality and the want/desire to matter! Hip-Hop exist because there was a void of identity representing the peoplet that wanted to be acknowledged in the world.

Today's world has a bigger acceptance of Hip-Hop but the same issues are here and the music in the mainstream view has been shifted towards a mainstay of violence, sexism and drug usage. There is a J.Cole and a Kendrick Lamar for people to identify for the new generations of Hip-Hop listeners but those that do not follow the current movement the masses always ask who is going to take the baton and lead the way for a new voice to lead the current and newer generations in positive, thought provoking life changing music? Musa Major plans to answer that question with a cause that is for the people by one of its' own.

Musa Major has a story that is one that speaks of overcoming the odds to become a voice for the people not one that is lost in the crowd. From "Prisoner to President", taking ownership of the trials and tribulations of life and the lessons he had learned. Musa is dropping a project that talks about his life and the experiences he draws his parables from to show the listener there IS a way and the choices we make will determine where we will go. Conversations that revolve around the system, classism, racism, and relationships all give the listener a chance to reflect on their lives or have a chance to consider their own life to consider how and why they live the life they choose. Moxie will give the listener something we all are fighting for and that is...the chance to live a life that we choose.

Moxie is an album that when sat with and listened to, the person that takes this music in will become a thinker and that is the measure of a man. A man is judge by how he holds and controls his spirit but for the women it gives them a chance to hear the pain and love from a male point of view that is not often shared when we live the lie of the "opposite sex" concept. Moxie is an album that will challenge the minds of the listener and also with beats that talk to the spirit this will be a project that will change lives and make Musa Major a movement when it comes not only to music but healing the community giving hope to those that hear his message.

Here is the interview we did on the project:

Mikee Mula Returns With A Statement Project.

As Hip-Hop turns 50, it is very important to always remember the classics. The times where we came from. A history lesson to revisit and help us remember our humble beginnings of where we came from to get to the roads we travel today, Mikee Mula and star producer Arkin went into the creative process and produced an ode to Hip-Hop with stunning presentation celebrating the future present by highlighting our cultural past.

This project opens up with a return to glory years of Hip-Hop culture with a call back to Yo! MTV Raps. If you know the importance of this call, then you know the mission is to produce something never seen or heard before. Mikee Mula gives not only vibes of a direct delivery but the moxie of a boxer with a jab that snaps the head back to Arkin's unique production style. This project is 16 minutes long and gives the listener an appetizer of something special to come if the givers of good music deem us worthy.

With lyrics that are precise and sharp the highlight of this project is Rear View, where the piano and the bass line highlight Mikee Mula's voice. This is not a project ruled by many voices and decent beats. Mula finds his 2 step and delivers with the passion and honesty that made people learn his name from his past projects. With special guest Sxint Chris on the song Historian, we not only get a nice sparring match of words between 2 MCs we see Mula further establish his passion on the project and Sxint Chris show the new world that order will come when lyrics and delivery are put in the forefront of the culture again.

Yo! Mula Raps is a quick listen that is worth the time invested in the listen. This is something that sets up a great heist that will take your attention and make you wary of what's next to come when the you realize you have been awkened from your norm into something new to look forward to. Some threats and changes to your life are not violent, they are intoxicating. Join the high and realize you have been blessed by the past vibes of Hip-Hop creativity to produce the elation of new music for our future enjoyment. New Jersey Hip-Hop holds it down once again with dope beats and honest rhymes.

Yo! Mula Raps is out now on all social media for Purchase and Streaming.
