Our Weekly segment The Weekly Eight returns with the new album, Myopic Bubble; the latest from Vancouver hip-hop veteran Moka Only in partnership with indie label, Dead Wrestlers Music.
“When you’re the big men on campus you can talk soft and carry a big stick, but the Dead Wrestlers are championship material and they flex skills like 24 inch biceps!”
Along with the new album, a Billy Slade-powered video was released for the single, “Tan Jacket.” For some reason they’ve decided to disable video embedding on that one, so you’ll need to head over to YouTube to check it out.
SELECTION DETAILS
- Artist/Group: Victoria, BC-born recording artist and producer, Moka Only, co-founder of Swollen Members.

THE WEEKLY EIGHT INFO
Submission Sundays was a segment we introduced in 2018 to show love to the hundreds of artists and groups that submit new material to us weekly. The segment also gave us a chance to show love to people who weren’t already receiving regular coverage on HipHopCanada, and gave them a chance to connect with our viewers.
Towards the end of the year, we relaunched Submission Sundays as The Weekly Eight, with the same objective to help artists grow.
Each week, we’ll select 8 new submissions and feature them on our homepage for at least a 24 hour period.
To be considered for The Weekly Eight segment, please submit your content using our Submission Form. International submissions are welcome.
Please note, due to the volume of submissions we receive, we are unable to respond to each submission directly. Submissions with missing information will be deleted.
