Meet Moe X

Today we’d like to introduce you to Moe X.

Moe, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
As a kid, I loved the feeling to perform to people, to hear the screams, see the light in the crowd.  It always gave me a good feeling like I was meant for, you know? Before I started rappin’, I wanted to be a singer cause my mom and aunts sang in a music group before I was born so I thought I could do it. I tried my best to learn how but it just wasn’t something I was good at or really something I wanted to do so as I got older, you know dealing with heartbreak from girl to girl, and the passing of my grandfather who raised me and the passing of a friend and just graduating high school. I sat up late nights just thinking about what I wanna do in my life cause I knew school wasn’t for me and all. I could ever think of was me performing to a crowd. I’ve felt it and dreamt it so I knew God was giving me a dream to turn into a reality but I knew in the rap game, they don’t talk about their feelings as much and you know who’s gonna wanna hear me pour my heart out until I heard Rod Wave rap and to me, I was amazed because it’s finally a person in music I felt like I could relate to, you know? “Heart on Ice” by Rod Wave inspired me to rap. It was the push I needed to feel like I can do this so after months of just writing and listening tryna find my sound, I finally recorded my song “Trust issues” at Zated Records, and ever since, I kept going and I’m still goin’ until I reach my goals and I know it’s crazy to people that I’m even getting as far as I am because I know some people didn’t expect this out of me, to even be getting to this certain point but you know, God kept me going so I’ll trust his plan and his process until I get where I need to be.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Yeah, a lot of struggles. Losing the man that raised you is crazy and I never really knew death would hurt that bad until it was someone that you were really really close to them. Dealing with heartbreaks and nights with no sleep and then the passing of a friend who you know ain’t deserve what happened to him and who also had dreams and goals to reach like me so forever long live them and then having sometimes suicidal thoughts and mom struggling with bills and doing everything by herself because my father left so many times can be hard but I prayed that I keep my head straight. The thought have gone away but you know u still deal with bad thoughts and pain as long as you keep your head straight and pray, you’ll be ok just keep going, never give up.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
My name is Moe X. I am a rapper from Cincinnati, OH. I’m known for rapping and I just dropped my debut project “Trust Issues the Mixtape” out now on all platforms. I’m proud of myself for getting to this point and keeping my head straight and proud of the people around me who continue to push me like I will push them and in my city, I think none sets me apart from no one. I’m just pouring my heart out on a mic and hoping people listen and understand me and feel what I’m saying.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
