The Video:
Coming off the success of his debut album, Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match, Vallejo California's rising lyricist Moe Green is treating fans with a video for "Lights, Camera, Action," the bonus track off his recently released project. As he continues to prep a forthcoming EP, Lionheart, as well as the release of his official debut album, To Whom It May Concern, produced entirely by Rob-E and dropping in 2011, Moe continues to release new music and videos from Rocky Maivia. And with this video, for a song that has become a fan favorite at Moe's live shows, Moe is releasing an equally high energy and fun video.
The Vallejo native teamed up with Ian 'iD' Davis of Moe's label Interdependent Media to create the Jersey Shore inspired Electro-house banger. "To tell you the truth, iD surprised me with the video," says Moe. "We talked about it some months ago, but I didnt think he would actually do it." The video for "Lights, Camera, Action" features memorable scenes from the popular MTV reality show, The Jersey Shore, capturing the high energy of the song and references Green's "Jabroni"-checking chorus, while adding a good old dose of fun into the mix. "On the show they play a lot of high energy music," says Moe. "And yeah, you can most definitely fist pump to this."

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.
