Mo'hogany is the second album by American R&B singer Monifah. It was released on August 25, 1998 through Uptown Records and featured production from Heavy D, Mario Winans and N.O. Joe. Chart-wise, Mo'hogany was more successful than her previous album, making it to 16 on the US Billboard 200 and 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album sales increased as its lead single "Touch It" became a top 10 hit, peaking at 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the biggest hit of Monifah's career."Monifah's Anthem"/"Bad Girl" (featuring Queen Pen) was a major hit that played on many urban contemporary stations across the US such as WAMO in Pittsburgh, WHUR in Washington D.C, & WDAS in Philadelphia with heavy repeat play during the fall of 1998. Mo'hogany was later certified gold by the RIAA.

Promis wrote that Mo'hogany "does incorporate a wide spectrum of sounds and styles, including rock & roll on the awkwardly titled "Monifah's Anthem/Bad Girl" and "Why," plenty of R&B ballads (of which most are lumped together in the middle of the album, weighing it down considerably) [...] Despite some dull moments and less-than-inspired lyrics, Mo'hogany winds up being a decent and relatively enjoyable album."
