About Me

"; ..
Moka Only (born Daniel Denton, November 14, 1973), is a Canadian hip hop artist from Vancouver, British Columbia who grew up in Langford, BC. Graduating from high school in 1989 from Stratford Central Secondary School, Moka Only started freestyling at house parties and ciphers with K-Prevail, now known as Prevail from Swollen Members. They recorded a few demos that were released as an album called Splitspheres. They moved to San Diego later in 1994 to hook up with other rappers. In 1995, Moka returned to Vancouver and met Mad Child, an upcoming MC in the Vancouver music scene. The three of them formed the group Swollen Members late night at a Denny's after a party. This marked the beginning of Battleaxe Records as well. Moka started his solo career in 1994 and has released over 15 albums independently since, gathering huge credibility in the underground hip hop scene. He is also a producer/singer and a songwriter and is in many other groups such as Perfect Strangers, Swollen Members, Code Name Scorpion, Cryptic Souls Crew, The Dominant Mammals, City Planners, Nowfolk, and much more. Moka also goes under many different aliases such as Ron Contour, TJ Slim, Mr. Behaviour, Torch, Him Himself and The Durable Mammal. Moka Only has now left Swollen Members and Battleaxe Records to pursue a solo career on Camobear Records (Josh Martinez's record label), Urbnet Records, and Legendary Entertainment. In 2008 Moka Only released his newest CD Airport 2, the follow up album from the 2007 re-release of Airport, under Legendary Entertainment.
Moka Only is a dynamic artist with a career that spans over 15 years, 30 LP’s and 400,000 records sold independently and counting. He has won three Juno’s, seven Much Music video awards.
Moka Only has since established himself as one of Canada’s most well- respected and hardest-working talents. He has also gained the admiration of his peers, industry professionals and fans alike. He has collaborated with the late great “Jay Dilla”, “Aceyalone” and “Oh No” just to name a few. www.urbnet.com/mokaonly | www.myspace.com/mokaonly
