Certain albums come to mind when one thinks of music that changed the direction of hip-hop - albums such as Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, and Paid in Full, albums that reshaped the trajectory of hip-hop and forced the world to take notice - yet if John "LoJ" Mouzon has his way, then his music will certainly help inspire a new generation of hip-hop fans. Critically acclaimed as an introspective voice for New York's next generation of MCs, LoJ (pronounced Lodge) portrays an analytical perspective not often seen in mainstream hip-hop.
