In her latest single, “Flojo Mojo,” Taija New doesn’t just reclaim her power; she owns the track like it’s a victory lap. Inspired by the unstoppable energy of Olympic icon Florence Joyner, this track is a bold, bass-heavy declaration that speaks directly to the doubters, the naysayers, and anyone who’s ever underestimated her shine.
Taija blends hip-hop bravado with genre-fluid swagger, with a beat that stomps and a flow that struts, proving she’s got the range, the grit, and the mojo. The 90s-raised, culture-rooted artist clarifies that she’s not asking for permission; she’s taking her place. “Flojo Mojo” pulses with that underdog-turned-undeniable energy, the kind that comes from years of being counted out and choosing to level up instead.
There’s a precision in Taija’s delivery, a sharpness in every lyric, and a palpable pride in every bar. Her homage to Flojo becomes a mirror for her own journey: misunderstood, doubted, yet impossible to ignore. “I’m the one, and I’m the plug,” she proclaims, and it doesn’t feel like a boast; it feels like a truth finally being spoken out loud.
“Flojo Mojo” is a statement, and with this release, Taija New leaves her competition in the dust.
