Azz Izz is the only album from R&B group, MoKenStef, released by Def Jam on July 4, 1995. Their biggest hit was "He's Mine", which peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their second single, "Sex in the Rain", generated much less success, reaching number 63 on the R&B chart.[2]
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine commended the trio's vocal performance but felt they lacked charisma, personality and content to make them come across more than a poor imitation of TLC's CrazySexyCool, concluding that "too much of Azz Izz is mediocre material." Vibe contributor Kara Manning also felt the group failed to deliver the "vocal ingenuity" to match that album, concluding that "[W]hile Mokenstef fall short of a fresher, sassier sensuality, Azz Izz isn't a bad first outing, just an uninspired one."[3]
