Heavy Mojo is a six-piece genre-bending hip hop and rock outfit from Atlanta, Georgia. Their sound combines mainstream melodies (Maroon 5) with urban beats (The Roots) and classic guitar riffs (Led Zeppelin) that is fused together with 70’s soul (Sly and the Family Stone). The group is fronted by three MC’s and backed by a powerful band on guitar, keys/bass and drums.
Heavy Mojo has been compared to Gym Class Heroes and was discovered by Steve Rifkind, the mastermind behind such groundbreaking artists as Akon, Wu-Tang Clan and Big Pun.
Their upcoming LP release, “Blow Out The Sound”, produced by Billy Hume (“Party Like A Rock Star”) is set to be released in late 2008, but you can grab their Choice Cuts EP now from iTunes which contains 3 songs for .99$. Check out a custom widget featuring all three songs available here
