Few artists possess the sustained creativity of Moka Only. The Vancouver veteran, known as one of the most prolific wordsmiths in the game, is back with the five-track EP, Beaming, a project that is a true exercise in effortless style and genuine artistry. This release is a collaborative effort with his sharp alter ego Ron Contour and the classic-minded producer Rad Brown.

The standout track, “Lyrical Heart,” is the project’s thesis statement—a perfect example of the successful marriage of technical lyrical skill and emotional vulnerability.

The Heart of the Matter

Moka Only’s career spans almost 30 years and over 50 solo records, a testament to the enduring value of consistency and genuine artistry over fleeting trends. While the Beaming EP seamlessly transitions between the witty, free-wheeling delivery of Ron Contour and the smooth, jazzy flow of Moka Only, “Lyrical Heart” carries the weight of the latter persona.

The title itself suggests Moka’s greatest strength: the willingness to embed his witty, introspective lyrics with genuine emotion. This is Conscious Hip-Hop at its most mature, eschewing grandstanding for heartfelt reflection on themes of love, relationships, and personal growth—subjects Moka has been perfecting for decades.

Soulful Flow, Classic Production

The track thrives on the chemistry between the MC and producer Rad Brown, whose classic and fresh hip-hop production provides a warm, soulful canvas. The beat provides the perfect laid-back atmosphere for Moka’s signature smooth flow, immediately drawing comparisons to the soulful, conscious rap lineage he shares with collaborators like J Dilla, MF Doom, and Del The Funky Homosapien.

As an Analytical and Appreciative look at Moka Only’s output, “Lyrical Heart” proves that true artistry is not just about complexity, but clarity. It’s a reminder that even the most prolific artists find time to slow down and deliver pure, unadulterated soul.
