Mo' Mega is the second studio album by American hip hop artist Mr. Lif. It was released via Definitive Jux on June 13, 2006.

The album title is described, "Mo' represents the dialect of the Black slave in America. Mega represents the hyper-modernized world we live in. As the cost of living increases at an exponential rate, more of us are finding it difficult to keep pace. I feel that the term Mo' extends beyond race to describe the masses whom have not achieved elite levels of wealth. Mo' Mega is the juxtaposition of the slave and the elite with no common ground between the two."[12]

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 75% based on 22 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]
