With this debut album, the world is introduced to Stuck Mojo, one of the most beloved and influential cult metal bands from the 90's. They weren't the first band to mix metal and hip-hop, but they were the band that really took it to the next level. They showed how, when done properly, it didn't need to be referred to as a mixture of styles, but a whole new musical force in its own right.

The main core of the band is centred around guitarist Rich Ward and vocalist Bonz, both with their own unique styles that helped Stuck Mojo stand out amongst the mid-90's metal scene. Ward's guitar work focuses mainly on power and groove, with an unmatched tone and riffs-galore, the music on this album will suit any fan of bands such as Pantera and Disturbed, and sets Mojo apart from later "rap metal" acts such as Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock.

Bonz has an amazing style of rapping that takes influence from hip-hop, punk and hardcore music, which fits perfectly with the metal riffs contributed by Ward. His ferocity and lyrics are unique in their aggression, with shouting and rapping blending perfectly without having to resort to growling and unintelligible metal grunts.

With some killer tracks such as 'Not Promised Tomorrow', '2 Minutes of Death', 'F.O.D.' and 'Uncle Sam Sham', this album is a relentless assault of metal and hip-hop done effectively. Full of Mojo classics that remain staples in live sets, 'Snappin' Necks' is an album that rarely gets recognized or remembered these days, which makes it an absolute underrated classic.

Get it today because you're not promised tomorrow. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

@Unitron this is better than RATM. Stuck Mojo and One Minute Silence/Dub War were the only rap metal bands I could stomach.

Thanks! I highly recommend their albums 'Declaration for a Headhunter' or 'Southern Born Killers'.

I'm not a fan of Rap-metal apart from Rage Against the Machine, but Stuck Mojo sounds pretty good. I'll have to give them a listen sometime. Good review.
