Mojoe - Dirty Genes

Mojoe is a rap duo from San Antonio, TX. The meaning behind their name is that they are more than just the average joe. The group consists of rappers Tre and Easy Lee. This is their second studio album and it was released in 2008 on Straight Line Entertainment. All the production is done live and its handled by the Mojoe Family Band. That includes the likes of Cooley High and Funky Genius. They provide the group with smooth soul and funk influenced tracks derived directly from live instruments. The two rappers grace the tracks with their poetic rhyme schemes and original flows. They both hold the ability to catch a beat and they can easily go back to back. Guest appearances are made by Bavu Blakes, Money Waters, Lil' Ken, Rob Bass and Roger Blevins. The groups' trademark is their savvy unorthodox style which is incredibly difficult to emulate. Even though the album contains nothing but top quality music and lyrics, the duo still does not get the attention they deserve.

Money Waters - Swalhaggin

Money Waters - Swalhaggin
Money Waters is a rapper from Dallas, TX. He debuted in 2003 with the blues inspired album, "The Porch." He was also named among "The Best Of 2004" by Murder Dog Magazine. Swalhaggin is the title of his sophomore album and it is meant to be read backwards. It was released in 2006 on Soullsys Music. Production is handled by Kerav Shimon, George Guerin and Money Waters. The beats range from soul and blues influenced to straight southern funk. Money's lyrics are on point and he tends to be very consistent with them. His drawly flow accommodates the beats really well. The subject matter is diverse and it can be heartfelt at times. Featuring on the album is Young Bleed, Mojoe, Bobo Luchiano, C-Pone, Chalie Boy, Six-2, Tequila, Limp Legg, Lil' Tex, Bavu Blakes, Coach Cognac, Uncle Pauly, Grand Supreem, Oleman, Kabaal and Guillotine. Although this record is not as revolutionary as his first one, it is still a very solid release. Money Water's mixture of rap and blues won't redefine either genre but the combo makes a dynamically powerful statement.
