MOKA ONLY
Lowdown Suite (Battle Axe)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

---

Moka Only's reentrance into the Swollen Members clique was a smart move on both of their parts, shown here on Lowdown Suite with his self-effacing rhyme style, and warm soul singing. Some post-Sugarhill rappers appear to be tone-deaf (paging DMX), but Moka has a bit of Lionel Richie in his veins to help compliment his burgeoning discography. Lowdown Suite presents sufficient evidence of Moka Only's importance in today's world of rhyme, and hasn't a weak track among 18.
