M.O.G.- Exposed to the Game. By 1992, independent Bay Area Rap was on fire. And that same year, the small West Bay area town of East Palo Alto earned the grim distinction of being the murder capital of the entire country.
During this time, the rap scene in East Palo Alto, aka the small town cemetary, exploded. Judging by their name, many would assume M.O.G. was another NWA knockoff group from Cali. Rather, this album has it's own sound and style entirely. The production is unique because it was produced by West Coast heavy hitter Sean T who is one of the most underrated legendary producers from Cali. His sound is distinctly different from Dre or Quik. His sound is full of seamless funk samples but also utilizes airy piano notes and other live instruments. Sean T has went on to work with Bay greats like E 40 and Messy Marv up until the present era.
The subject matter here reflects the gruesome streets of EPA in 92' like on "Homicidal nikkas" and "PA Thang", describing the very real wheeling, dealing and cap peeling that was an everyday occurrence there at the time. But it ain't all hardcore street shyt. Sean T, Top Dog and Kaos got girl problems on "Doin My Part" and "Peep Game". Kaos let's you know he ain't playing on "Smoove". And Sean T gets socially conscious to the conditions of ghetto life on "Wake Up". This album is often left off of greatest Bay Area albums lists when sonically, its some of the cleanest and most classic independent Bay Area productions of the early 90's.
