Cement, and Primitive Race
.
Mosley began his career in Los Angeles, performing in local bands The Animated and Haircuts That Kill, before joining Faith No More in 1983.[1] He appeared on two albums with the group, We Care a Lot (1985) and follow-up Introduce Yourself (1987), before being fired for "erratic behaviour" the following year.[2] Mosley's last recording for the band was "New Improved Song", released as a covermount for Sounds magazine that same year; the song was later reworked as "The Morning After" for the band's next album The Real Thing.[3]
After Faith No More, Mosley briefly joined the group
Soul Pretender, which was released a week before his death; the material on this album was later reworked for the posthumous remix album Cranial Matter.[5][6] Towards the end of his life, Mosley focussed on acoustic performances,[2] some of which saw release as the 2019 Record Store Day exclusive Joe Haze Sessions#2.[7] According to a statement released by his family, Mosley died "due to the disease of addiction" on November 9, 2017, at age 57.[8]
Mosley is known for his distinctive vocal style—described as "an acquired taste to most"[9]—which blended elements of rap music, punk, and metal, and which has been seen as an influence on popular music of the 1990s.[1][2][10] Mosley credited the development of this style to his initial confusion with Faith No More's music, stating, "I hadn't heard anything like it before […] that's where the rapping stuff came from. I couldn't really understand the music. It was complicated and different to me, so I was just screaming to the beat, like ranting".[11]
Songs
The thing I hear most often is: 'Did you ever think of going into stand up?' I learned early on the devastating effect of the in-between song silence with the band trying to talk among themselves and tune up. So I always tried to fill it up by just saying really stupid stuff.
–Mosley on his stage presence[12]
Over the hills, they came from the valley
Making innuendoes about my lack of talent, oh well…
They say that when I'm supposed to be singing
All I'm really doing is yelling
–Mosley's lyrics for "Greed", inspired by early criticism[13]

Mosley posthumously released a cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U", written by Prince and previously recorded by Sinéad O'Connor.[14]
