After his new single “Tweaker” gained viral attention, Ball has been announced as one of the performers for Rolling Loud LA 2024, scheduled for March 15-16 at Hollywood Park. Ball’s single has received high praise on social media for the song’s old-school feel and sound, reminiscent of the early 2000s.

Rolling Loud has been building excitement around the former pro-athletes debut at the festival across social media. The event will also feature acts like: A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Peso Pluma, with additional performances from YG, Sexyy Red, Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, Cash Cobain, Quavo, and many more throughout the weekend.

What sets “Homicide Freestyle” apart is how it tells its story in such a raw, unfiltered manner. The song is not a narrative of events but rather an emotional arc of a man who came out stronger after a life-threatening situation. Moka Blast brings authenticity to his delivery, one that cuts right through to listeners who want true representations of the streets in their hip-hop. The production value complements this in great ways, giving a modern, yet simultaneously very true hip-hop, narrative. The hiatus, though unwanted, granted Moka Blast a very rare opportunity to actually hone and work out his artistic vision. Without any release schedules or expectations on the part of the general public, he had time to think through all his experiences and precisely how those best translated into music. The result is a track that feels both meticulously thought out and emotionally spontaneous, a balance that is reached very rarely in hip-hop.

“Homicide Freestyle” is a vision for Moka Blast’s future. It shows a deeper, more narrative approach to his music, one that takes all his past work and imbues it with the hard-won wisdom of the last few years. Through his new recording home at FGC Recording Studios in Las Vegas, Moka is positioned to continue this evolution, including collaborations that will further expand his artistic horizons. As Moka Blast returns to active recording and performance, “Homicide Freestyle” is at once both a milestone and a first step. It testifies to how adversity can shape an artist’s sound and perspective, building music that resonates on a deeper level with listeners. For Moka, this isn’t just a comeback single; it’s the first page of a new chapter in his artistic journey, promising to combine personal truth with musical innovation.
