When you think about C.Moe the phrase, "Unapologetic Authority" comes to mind. This young man, born on the streets of Chicago's south side, now a proud Milwaukee native, brings you a passion for not only music, the youth, and the lost, but for the Gospel. At age 12 he was forcibly moved from Chicago to Milwaukee's notorious north side of town where he was promised a better chance at a good life. By age 17, C.Moe was already an established entity of the inner city and moving into a path that would lead to death and destruction. "You see," C.Moe says, "While in the Chi all i knew was the block because I lost so many important figures before i turned 6years old. So music was my release from the way of life my sister and I had become used to. People like Scarface, Too Short, and N.W.A. were my role models." With those type of rappers as role models, C.Moe quickly began to learn the art form taken on by his 'role models' and began to perfect his own brand of emceeing.
After making some very unwise decisions in his life, C.Moe began to understand why the only strong spiritual figure in his life always stood out to him. "I could always remember my grandmother saying 'The Lords Prayer' with me and telling me that Jesus loves me." As he began to study the Gospel of Jesus Christ more, began to wonder what would be the best road for him to take in order to keep himself inside of God's grace. At first dismissing the idea of being a gospel emcee, he soon realized the parable of his very own God Given talent.
Now at age 28, this emcee has poised himself as a premier artist among the Christian Rap Underground. With the release of his debut album "Modern Day Miracle" receiving airplay in cities as far abroad as London, as well as holding the #1 spot for 'song of the year' with "Rep He!" on Goat Radio, and being nominated for awards by Gospel Streets Radio(Baltimore, MD), it's fair to say that this young man is on a mission to win the lost with the talent God gave him. As CEO of P.S.A. Music Group Inc. (Preach Salvation Assembly), as well as being president of Soul Bizz Ent., it's plain to see that C.Moe is a forward moving ministry."I enjoy being the CEO of my own label and being president of the management company that im also an artist for. I get to go out and truly be myself and minister the gospel, and not just through song. I'm allotted time to pray with people and just shake hands and be a real dude with the people that enjoy the album and might not have a relationship with Christ." Humility, respect, and honor are words often thrown around without much thought, but in the case of C.Moe I think that they are well deserved.
