Mo Muse Shares 3 New Tracks

Mo Muse made waves in the NZ hip-hop scene late 2019 with his debut full-length The First Generation LP which was met with critical acclaim. Since then he’s completed a nationwide tour, released 5 music videos off the LP, and with 2 live RNZ covers Mo Muse has solidified his name in NZ music.

The introduction of BLKCTY earlier this year, with hip-hop household names JessB, Raiza Biza, Abdul Kay & Blaze the Emperor has seen the release of tracks 'FUNDS Pt. II' and 'FLYING' accompanied with a couple of slick, cinematic music visuals. The release of the 3 highly anticipated singles “Lighters Up”, “Thoughts” and “Oh!” will mark Mo Muses first solo releases of 2020. 

Mo Muse first caught the attention of NZ hip hop fans mid 2019 with his powerful 64-bars performance showcased by RedBull and curated by David Dallas. Since being co-signed by Dallas, things have gone full circle with one of the 3 singles “Lighters Up” ft. Dallas himself; a powerfully uplifting track that ebbs and flows effortlessly between verses and hook. An almost ceremonious passing-of-the-torch, Lighters Up is a statement track, signalling that Mo Muse is here to stay. “Thoughts” ft. multi-talented Auckland artist Pharoah Swami is an ominous ode to Mo’s struggle to maintain a romantic relationship in the midst of his ascending music career.

With a powerful verse coupled with haunting vocals by Swami, it is Mo’s most vulnerable piece of music to date. Closing out the 3 singles is “Oh!”, a 2-minute rap onslaught paired with an anthem-like hook, and a generous serving of rap bravado and incredible rhyme patterns. “Oh!” is a reminder to those who have still not caught on that Mo is ready to really make his mark in the NZ hip hop scene and beyond.
