Mozzy taps YFN Lucci for emotional, introspective cut, “23 AND 1”

Sacramento rapper Mozzy has long been recognized as one of hip-hop’s most authentic and introspective lyricists, but even his rise to fame hasn’t erased the scars of his journey. Confronting past legal battles and deep personal betrayals, Mozzy returns with a powerful new single titled “23 AND 1.” Backed by haunting piano melodies and sorrowful vocal samples, the track finds Mozzy reflecting on the mistakes of his past—balancing regret and nostalgia as he calls out disloyalty and honors the memory of lost loved ones. The song also features a compelling guest verse from YFN Lucci, who shares vivid reflections on his incarceration and the moments he missed on the outside (“Ay, Trouble left and I ain’t get to say my goodbyes,” he laments), his voice lifting with raw emotion as he pledges to keep moving forward. The visual for “23 AND 1” weaves together powerful imagery—real-life archival footage and childhood photos of Mozzy—with fresh performance shots of both artists, capturing the weight of their stories.
