If “Luck” is when preparation meets opportunity, then “Lucky” must be the only way to describe Jeff Lucky (Jeff Moonie, Jr.) the hard working multi talented MC from the Queen City, Charlotte, NC. With banging yet soulful production and a lyrical storytelling approach that invites everyone into his life, the man nicknamed “The Black Shamrok” accurately describes his style as “soul music translated through hip hop.” Always rocking his signature color green (which represents life and growth) and with his clever ode to fingernails “Needles” already spinning on major radio stations, Lucky is quickly establishing himself at the top of the class of a recent crop of “new” veteran MC’s.
The aptly titled Soul Motivation is Lucky's debut solo release and it chronicles his journey from Charlotte to Los Angeles, (where he currently splits his time) as he rediscovered his passion for hip hop. Lucky took a classic approach to the album, not only in the time spent crafting the songs but the packaging as well. Giving maximum value to the consumer the CD includes a 12 page booklet along with images and lyrics for every song. Already garnering fans literally from coast to coast people often remark that Soul Motivation “speaks to them.” Combining equal parts passion and intelligence with a turbulent life story that saw him experience the loss of several loved ones, including the murder of his sister/manager Cherica “Summer” Adams (for whom his label SummerSoul Records is named) Lucky’s music is honest, raw and relatable.
