From there? The track morphs into somewhat of a detailing of Moka\u2019s thought process (song-wise and otherwise). Flow-wise, Moka floats over the production and employs a few different ways to spit throughout the song. In other words, he doesn\u2019t keep things one way for that long. Yeah, this one is a \u201cyou need to listen to it\u201d sort of song\u2013at least from me. It appears on Moka\u2019s In and of Itself project, which just dropped yesterday. If you\u2019re in the mood for some eclectic hip-hop that\u2019ll still make you bob your head, check it out below and support dope music in all its forms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 853px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3029897014\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/package=962375521\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/mokaonly.bandcamp.com\/album\/in-and-of-itself\">In and of Itself by Moka Only<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another soul sonic excursion from Vancouver&#8217;s hardest working OG&#8230; This one grabbed my attention with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-audio"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-LCK","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183070\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
