Today’s review is definitely an interesting one, as we take a look at the artist MOCC and their most recent album “War Tapes: 1942”. First of all, let’s kick this off with who is MOCC? Well, MOCC is a hip-hop artist, who experiments with multiple different genres. He is originally from Nashville, Tennessee, and otherwise known as Ryan Hadley. MOCC released “War Tapes: 1942” at the beginning of this year, and blimey I love it!

This album includes eight amazing tracks, and is so unique and different, with everyone song relating to the war. MOCC has created an album full of rap-rock and hip-hop. The album being based on the war, really grabs our attention as he raps about important topics, yet it is presented in an incredible musical way.

Track three, “War Face” begins with a Commander preparing their team for battle, asking to see their war face. This gives us a little insight to what life was like. This song then progresses into a catchy beat with some incredible rapping. I really like this track and it’s peculiarness.

Every song in this collection has its own qualities and you will honestly find it so difficult to pick our your preferred one out of them all. “Artillery” is one that caught my attention straight away with its opening news speech. This song then turns into a great, mesmerising bassline and is one that will get you bopping your head to. Once again MOCC does fantastic with his rapping. I think he has so much potential, and I cannot wait to see how his career progresses and get him to receive the credit he deserves.

The album ends on a one-minute track called “Fall out”. This is completely different compared to the rest of the album. It is a piano-led song that vocals are not included in. It is a sweet and thoughtful way to end the collection.

I cannot express enough how much you need to listen to this album, especially if you are a fan of rap! The whole album is available on Spotify now and is definitely worth the listen! MOCC has once again hit the nail on the head with this one!
