The Canadian “Energizer Bunny” never stops even when one thinks he is over rap music. Moka Only has… a lot of albums and it seemed that during and post COVID, the Vancouver BC, M.C. might have slowed down production of music. In 2023 he popped up again with ‘In And Of Itself,’ which for those who have been fans of Moka Only for the past 25 years, got that signature sound and feel that compliments him and listener’s ears. Moka Only always finds that balance between vibes and head nodding sounds that seems to uplift the frequency within one’s self, if not for a moment of euphoria, that never seems to get old. This album’s consistency tracks with what Moka Only does for his projects where there are not many moments you might feel one part of the album is better than the other. Although ‘I Do Rap’ is one of those merry moments Moka Only traps listener’s with snares, drums and subtle sounds, while using his own voice as an instrument to make one rewind the track multiple times. ‘In And Of Itself’ can be added to the pantheon of “Moke’s” albums but it really is a standout release among his latter chapter of projects. What did you think of the album?
