The Song:
Prior to the release of his new EP, Lionheart, Moe Green held fans over the grassroots way; he took other artist's beats, flipped them, and killed them. First up was Frank Ocean's "Swim Good," then came "Glass Table Girls" by The Weeknd. And now, just a few short weeks after dropping Lionheart, and only a few short days after dropping his latest video from the EP, for the single "Extra Extra," Moe is back at work, flipping another brand new track for fans.
When Moe Green first heard Pusha T's and Tyler, the Creator's new single "Trouble On My Mind" he was instantly drawn to the track, largely because the track, produced by Pharrell, brought the Bay rapper back to a sound he used to love. "The beat for 'Trouble On My Mind' nails that old Star Trak feel perfectly to me," says Moe. "I was a big fan of what they were doing with that sound back in the day; this one jumped out to me immediately." Though Moe's version of the track only delivers one verse, it's not to be forgotten. As Moe proclaims, "Putting on for all the ones who ain't around/ Moe Green, understand I will move the sound," he navigates the thumping Neptunes frame with his usual ease and heavy-dropping flows.
In other Moe Green news, fans will be excited to hear that the budding rapper has also been tapped to take part in a brand new hip-hop fantasy cartoon, Fresh World. Other rappers currently involved include Chuck D of Public Enemy, MURS, Del The Funky Homosapien, Opio, and more. Keeping things innovative, the cartoon's director, Roy Miles Jr. aka the Ghetto Geppetto, has taken to the internet to help in his financing push, and is currently running a campaign on Kickstarter.com. More information on the cartoon, as well as information on how fans can back the project, can be found here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1908104475/the-fresh-world-cartoon

The Background:
The challenge for a fighter is not only with his opponent. It starts with confidence -- and confidence starts with training. Almost a year ago, in July 2010, Moe Green released Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match, Green’s unofficial debut and a bold proclamation in his fight toward greatness. The release earned the Vallejo, California native strong reviews and high acclaim, as well as a coveted Show & Prove feature in XXL Magazine to go along with his spot in KMEL’s inaugural Bay Area Freshman 10 class. But nothing comes easy. And so, despite the early accomplishments, Moe Green has kept his training consistent, eschewing the big-name co-signs and instead choosing to remain the focal point of each of his releases. This includes Green's latest release, his forthcoming EP, Lionheart, a testament to the Vallejo rapper's continued keen focus, determination, and passion, as he continues his journey towards that title. Moe Green's new EP, Lionheart, will be released on June 27th and is being presented by OnSMASH and BRWTNSS.
