On Once In a Blue Moon, Kota the Friend and Statik Selektah come together to craft an album that seamlessly blends the essence of golden-era hip-hop with the style of modern rap.

Their synergy is evidently seamless as this marks their 3rd collaboration project in the space of 3 years. A standout gem on Once In a Blue Moon is the opening track "Bacon Egg and Cheese". This not only sets the tone of the album in a tasteful manner, but Kota sounds different - he's hungrier and his delivery comes across as a lot more brazen than usual. This is paired with lyrics about struggle and determination laced over a soulful instrumental, offering a powerful and uplifting track that resonates with authenticity and depth.
