Critical Praise for Moe Green:
"With a prize like Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match under his belt, be prepared to see Green go the distance." - PopMatters.com
Selected as a member of 106 KMEL's (the biggest Bay Area hip-hop station) Freshmen Class of 2010.
The Song:
"I heard a lot of ya'll talkin' bout it but I dont see you when im walkin' bout it" So Moe Green raps on the chorus of his latest single, "Extra Extra," and if anyone is a testament to his word, it's the fast rising Vallejo, California spitter. In just under a year, Moe released the highly lauded Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match, along with a succession of new tracks and videos, as he continued to put the finishing touches on his new EP, Lionheart, being presented by OnSMASH and BEARWITNESS.
Despite the tone set by producer Ca$h Martin's muted horns and melancholy keys, "Extra Extra" is Moe at his most outspoken. "Everybody's talking and not walking," says Moe about the song's message. "Everybody says, 'I'mma do this,' or 'I'mma do that,' but I've seen where we are trying to go – what everybody dreams about – and now I'm working on getting there." And Moe's rhymes reflect that attitude to the tee, as he raps about the internal conflict and struggle he faces as he strives to reach his goals. "On the walk for greatness/ Keep a good pace, and they all relating," raps Moe, as he pushes asides gimmicks with, "None of that hoopla/ My team plus God be the reason I'll make it."

The Background:
The rap game is overflowing with aspiring new MCs, all crammed into a single ring fighting for that lone heavyweight title. One particular competitor who has fully dedicated himself to the good fight is 22-year old Moe Green from Vallejo, California. His forthcoming debut album, Rocky Maivia: Non Title Match, is titled after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's first professional ring name and perfectly embodies Moe place in today's hip-hop circuit - the newcomer who is one day going to hold the championship belt. Like any fighter, years of training, dedication, and discipline are required to claim the top spot. Moe has been training for this his entire life. Having competed in speech and poetry meets growing up, Moe found himself genuinely attracted to the creative freedom music imparts early in his life, even writing rhymes in kindergarten with his childhood best friend and E-40's son, Droop-E. Listeners of Rocky Maiva can expect to hear tales from a young man from a hard hit city trying to find his way in the world the best he can. On growing from Rocky Maivia to one day standing amongst the greats, Moe says, "I need to win a couple belts first. I have to prove that I have the skill to do that and this album is like my wrestling debut." And so, the journey begins.
