Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr are natural collaborators, the Sacramento native’s storytelling and grit blending with the L.A. native’s melodic flexes to create an unexpected, but satisfying whole. Following in the footsteps of fan favorite songs like “Whole 100” and “No Love,” the Cali duo shares LUCKY HER, their first-ever collaborative album. Filled with hard bars and melodic hooks, LUCKY HER combines R&B, rider music, and street rap into a synthesis that could only have come from the West Coast. A departure from Mozzy’s usual style, the Oak Park native finds himself perfectly at home in Kalan’s high-rolling L.A. lifestyle, presenting songs that are flirtatious and out of pocket, but doesn’t sacrifice the realness for which both emcees are known. LUCKY HER is available on all platforms via EMPIRE.
The tape is home to the recent single “BBL” ft. Rob49, a confident anthem that featured a cameo from LUCKY HER cover star India Love in the music vide. Skilla Baby shows up on “SIZE ME UP,” which demonstrates the synergy between the L.A. and Detroit sounds. Mozzy’s frequent collaborator Shordie Shordie joins the party for “EULOGY,” providing his layered melodies over a propulsive minor key riders’ anthem. In addition to breezy songs like “Run ‘Em Over,” there is the heartfelt “Where I Come From,” and the high-octane “NO MUNYON NO FUNYON (Remix).“
Along with the project, Mozzy and Kalan share the video for “EGGS IN THE MORNING,” a LUCKY HER highlight. Over an easygoing instrumental that simmers at a low boil, “EGGS IN THE MORNING” is a flirtatious display of devotion, as Kalan serenades a baddie while Mozzy promises to provide for her needs in any way he can. Shot like a home movie, the video for “EGGS IN THE MORNING” finds Mozzy and Kalan in their element as casanovas, as they each spend a romantic night with one of L.A.’s baddest.
With their first-ever collaborative project, Mozzy and Kalan.FrFr hope to put a finishing touch on a triumphant year for West Coast hip-hop. Stay tuned for more about LUCKY HER.
