Moka Only (born Daniel Denton, November 14, 1973), is a Canadian hip hop artist from Vancouver, British Columbia who grew up in Langford, BC. Graduating from high school in 1989, Moka Only started freestyling at house parties and ciphers with K-Prevail, now known as Prevail from Swollen Members. They recorded a few demos that were released as an album called Splitsphere. They moved to San Diego later in 1994 to hook up with other rappers. In 1995, Moka returned to Vancouver and met Mad Child, an upcoming MC in the Vancouver music scene. The three of them formed the group Swollen Members late night at a Denny's after a party. This marked the beginning of Battleaxe Records as well. Moka started his solo career in 1994 and has released over 15 albums independently since, gathering huge credibility in the underground hip hop scene. He is also a producer/singer and a songwriter and is in many other groups such as Perfect Strangers, Swollen Members, Code Name Scorpion, Cryptic Souls Crew, The Dominant Mammals, City Planners, Nowfolk, and much more. Moka also goes under many different aliases such as Ron Contour, TJ Slim, Mr. Behaviour, Torch, Him Himself and The Durable Mammal. Moka Only has now left Swollen Members and Battleaxe Records to pursue a solo career on Camobear Records. (Josh Martinez record label).
