Critical Praise for Moe Green:
"Based on Lionheart and the progress it illustrates, Moe Green is well worth keeping an eye on." - XXL Magazine
"With a prize like Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match under his belt, be prepared to see Green go the distance." - PopMatters.com
The Video:
Moe Green's Free Water EP, a seven-track collection of new songs and remixes, was released in late December of last year, and since, the up-and-comer has released a string of visuals from the project, including the latest, today, for "Glory." The song was produced by Fly Commons and features recent Atlantic Records signee Netta B, and offers an introspective look into Moe's efforts to break out of his day-to-day routine and strive for more.
"I'm documenting where I'm at in my life at this point in time," explains Moe on the inspiration behind the track, and the video, directed by J. Sutherland, takes the same contemplative approach. Opening with a time-lapsed view overlooking San Francisco, the video features Moe and Netta in a variety of solo performance shots, as Moe walks through the famed Clarion Alley in the Mission District of San Francisco, visits a church in the city, and more. For Moe, the visual is about framing the different ways that people find success and personal achievement. "People find glory in life from different sources," he notes, pointing to the end of the video where Moe Green's father, Greg Carter, Sr., celebrates his team winning it all.

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, presented by OnSMASH and BRWTNSS, was released June 27th and is now available for free download.
