MUJA MESSIAH
Never one to hop on trends and ride the wave, Muja IS the wave. Three years ago Muja released the now legendary God Kissed It The Devil Missed It and ever since then hes been killing everything he touches. While God Kissed It was a personal benchmark, Muja keeps expanding his artistry and adding depth to his music instead of attempting to recreate the magic of previous projects. As he grows, so does the music. Muja has always been regarded as an elite lyricist and local legend, but 2017 will solidify that status while expanding his repertoire to songwriting, producing and general global dominance.
After penning 16s for Kanye and writing with Diddys team in Miami it was time to focus on his own career goals and take matters into his own hands. Muja self-funded The Red Eye Tour and scheduled a month long hip-hop- humanitarian effort in locations such as Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Israel, Italy and most recently the incredibly inspiring island of Cuba. Traveling abroad woke the sleeping giant and ever since his return he has been on a tear.
Known for his politically incorrect sarcasm, sharp humor, intelligence and relentless work ethic, Mujas new album PyrExpeditioN showcases the mind of Muja like never before. The self-proclaimed Bob Dylan in Polo linen has once again returned to puncture holes through your comfort zone. Hell go where a lot of rappers wont.
