The Song:
"Lights, Camera, Action," the bonus track off Moe Green's debut LP, Rocky Maivia: Non-Title Match, is the quintessential fight song. Fresh off a Show & Prove feature in this month's XXL Magazine, the KMEL Freshmen 10 rapper delivers a fusion of braggadocio and punch line metaphors, a driving kick-to-snare combination, a triumphant staccato, and the distant clamor of an uproarious crowd for this epic opus. "It's what I call wrestlemania music," notes Moe. "It gets you ready to do something big." Produced by Rob-E, who handles production duties on Moe's forthcoming LP To Whom It May Concern, "Lights, Camera, Action" is an adaptation from French electro-house artist Kavinsky, known for his style reminiscent of 1980s film soundtracks.
Available only on the limited edition pressing of physical CDs, "Lights, Camera, Action" is in essence, Moe's closing remarks regarding the state of hip-hop and a declaration of his arrival to the game. Calling out Jabronis and spent emcees alike with barbed banter like: "Your times over/ You too old, bro/ There's new blood here/ Put your toes up," Moe sends out a strong affirmation of his intent to claim the title and rise among the ranks of hip-hop heavyweights. "If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready," notes the poised emcee. "Because when it's your time to shine you'll already be glowing."

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.
