Mo' Mega is the second full-length album by hip hop artist Mr. Lif, released on June 13, 2006 on the Definitive Jux label. The album was largely produced by El-P but also features production work from Edan, Australian producer Nick Toth, and Mr. Lif himself. Lyrical guest appearances come from El-P, Aesop Rock, Murs, Blueprint, and Lif's Perceptionists rapping partner Akrobatik.
The album title is described, "Mo' represents the dialect of the Black slave in America. Mega represents the hyper-modernized world we live in. As the cost of living increases at an exponential rate, more of us are finding it difficult to keep pace. I feel that the term Mo' extends beyond race to describe the masses whom have not achieved elite levels of wealth. Mo' Mega is the juxtaposition of the slave and the elite with no common ground between the two."[11]
Although not critically acclaimed on the same level as I Phantom, Mo' Mega still received mostly favorable reviews, scoring a total of 75/100 on MetaCritic.[12]
