The Mossie

The Mossie was an American rap group from Vallejo, California, with members: Kaveo, Mugzi and Tap Dat Ass.^[1] They first appeared together on E-40's 1993 EP, The Mail Man . Before dropping their 1997 debut album, Have Heart Have Money , on Sick Wid It and Jive Records, they appeared together on several other Sick Wid It releases, including: The Hogg in Me , The Hemp Museum and Southwest Riders .

The Mossie's debut album, Have Heart Have Money , was released in 1997 on Sick Wid It and Jive Records. The album peaked at number 35 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers and at number 62 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.^[2] It was executive produced by B-Legit and E-40 and features guest performances by Celly Cel, Levitti, 187 Fac, Silk-E, G-Note, B-Legit and E-40. Along with a single, a music video was released to promote the album, "Nobody Can Be You But You",^[3] featuring E-40 and cameo appearances by B-Legit, Celly Cel, D-Shot and Suga-T.
