"Mojo Jojo" (stylized inall caps) is a song by American rapperPlayboi Carti. It was released throughAWGE andInterscope Records as the fifth track from Carti's third studio album,Music, on March 14, 2025. It features additional vocals from American rapperKendrick Lamar, who performs only inad-libs.[1][2][3][4][5] The song was written by Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, alongside producersCardo, and Johnny Juliano.
The song received generally positive reviews.Billboard put it in sixth place in their rankings of both the songs[1] and guest features fromMusic, writing in regard to the latter "Even thoughK-Dot is only tossing in some ad-libs to help push Carti along, hearing him strut around King Vamp's world is exhilarating. The bass rattles Kendrick's nasally voice, which Carti drowns inAuto-Tune to make theNobel Prize winner sound like an alien. 'Mojo Jojo' is just a teaser of what's to come, but hearing Kendrick grumble, 'We go dummy' is indeed enough to make anyone go 'dummy.'"[2] Alexander Cole ofHotNewHipHop stated "Overall, 'MOJO JOJO' is absolutely fire as it sees Carti and Kendrick going back and forth on Cardo production. Both artists sound like evil aliens and it is by far one of the more pleasant collaborations of the year so far. The production and the flows might be a bit foreign to some listeners at first. However, when you understand the vibe they are going for, you quickly realize just how dope this track is. Some were concerned about how Carti would fit with Kendrick. Hopefully, this song puts all of those fears to rest. Playboi Carti brought his A-game onMUSIC and this song is proof of that."[6] Ben Beaumont-Thomas ofThe Guardian called Lamar a "trickster-god capering on Carti's shoulder, throwing mischievous ad-libs in his ear" and commented on Carti's voice, "there are deep pronouncements like a vocal-fried wizard: his delivery of the phrase 'he a goon' is worth the price of admission alone."[4] Reviewing the album forStereogum, Tom Breihan was less impressed by Lamar's feature, writing "Even Kendrick Lamar feels out of place when he's doing anything other than the 'Mojo Jojo' ad-libs, where he sounds less like a collaborator and more like a fan."[3]
