Mojoe might sound like something straight out of an Austin Powers movie, but this kind of “mojo” has far deeper roots in rap than psychedelia. In fact, San Antonio, Texas-based emcees, Easy Lee and T.R.R.E., make up the unique sound of Mojoe. Combining pure soul with club anthem elements, the duo provides a diverse range of sounds, a trait made quite evident on their new single, My Favorite Cut. A winding soul sample abruptly plummets into a head-bobbing, self-produced booty shaker. Dirty South rhymes about sexy ladies and champagne are thrown in with random old-school soul verses and the end result is an enjoyable jumble of urban sound. More than anything, the odd combination shows Mojoe’s myriad influences, which range from The Roots to Curtis Mayfield. The duo’s new album, Dirty Genes, is set for a fall release.
The beat is ok, they should keep it simple. I don't like the chorus, the transition doesnt really work well for me? If they would change the chorus, maybe it would get a 3. Lyrics are OK.
The production was real hot. I really like their vibe. It sort of reminds me of a Cool Kids vibe at a faster pace. The hook transition is actually the greatest part of this song.
It's not a song I would add to my mp3 player, but the beat, though simple, is bangin! It's one of those songs I would listen to in my car with my friends or I would dance to in the clubs. I don't like the chorus, it's a bit lame comparing it to the rest of the song! Not excellent, but in rotation for sure
Real bangin, good call on the wordage Patty. San Antonio, Texas, stand up! Houston and Dallas always getting shine... but the Alamo has it going on here.
