what's up mozzie mozzie I know before little mozi dropped tracks like noticed
booth back and pull up the first half half of my head was Pogo it okay and I
ran with it before touring with the likes of juice world spooky Margiela and
smoke purp and would share the stage with little zen before little mozi would
sign with Interscope and blow up on soundcloud and instagram with hundreds
of thousands of followers at the time of this recording if it don't matter B you
say get out my way but I'm a geek anyway these rappers they keep on getting
younger and younger and they're only 16 a little mozi he's proven to be an
artist to keep an eye on and another super talented rap prodigy who got his
start working with basic equipment while posting his work on a SoundCloud now
success it wouldn't come without its hardships with him losing a close friend
and collaborator well just recently if you're watching this buddy I'm sorry for
your loss a little mozi he's still pretty new to
the game and the information on him is far and few between nevertheless we've
pulled up some decent info to piece this one together what's going on guys did
your boy Michael credit act bang the life and career of little mozi part of
Fame here for you on before they're famous now we got to thank our friends
over at candy peds for sponsoring this video and little mozi has actually been
one of the most requested videos in recent weeks you guys are hitting me up
in the comments section with thousands and thousands of requests also on
Instagram and Twitter keep them coming in let us know who's
next I'll see you guys now after the intro
hey be sure to subscribe and hit that Bell boom right now I'm just coming up
but I was doing like the next couple years I see myself at a time
little mozi was born of January 25th 2002 in Seattle Washington they were
trying to track down his birth name was a little tricky the information isn't
exactly publicly listed or even stated now we did however find this photo of
him on a random blog site titled bulldog brief and it listed a few different boys
names and one of them was the Lathan Echols we were actually able to find a
little moseys old Facebook page under the name banned kid Posey but the URL it
read Layton Eccles then we went to one of the friends posting a photo of Lathan
and he asked what the fuck is Nathan wearing so I think we found our man
Michael did some digging he grew up in the north side of Seattle in the city of
Mountain Lake Terrace Washington with a population of just 20k though he would
later link up with people in the south when he started making music in 2016 but
despite his strong CL roots he doesn't really have a lot of love for the city
he once stated I'm really the only n-word making it out there but other
than that there's nothing going on in Seattle now he did express his love for
weed and then well he also shared this via Instagram I only up with a couple
heads in Seattle and thus often all my Edwards in the north if you all don't
know about us you will fa'sho Lee huh I was a really
hard quote for me to read now I'm guessing the guy being from Seattle
speaking like this he's probably not a Macklemore fan and he would later well
he would clear the air stating this what I really meant to say is that I'm the
only New Wave artist to really break out of Seattle there's a lot of hidden
talent there's a lot of New Wave artists that haven't been recognized by the
world I'm trying to put on for my city I'm
trying to do what Drake did for Toronto anyway mosey well he was raised
primarily by his mother also well he's got a few older brothers know the
details of moseys life prior to Fame well there's still pretty sketchy
with young rappers well there's always misinformation out there for example in
an interview professional gamer Sinatra well he mentioned being a big fan a
little mosey and he claimed the rapper went to his rival High School Shore
crest high no on the other hand Wikipedia well they currently claim that
he went to Mountlake Terrace high school now there is a picture of mozi in a
mountain Lake Terrace Hawks football jersey but I think that's actually him
an elementary school he looks pretty young now there's also a mountain Lake
Terrace Elementary School and their mascot turns out well it's also the hops
behind the house everyone got to make my life so difficult then that well on that
old Facebook account he cites Mountain Lake as his high school so I'm gonna go
with that they were either way the kid he didn't spend too much time at school
as the SoundCloud numbers grew will he attended high school less than last and
then he dropped out completely way back in 2017 but what got him into hip-hop in
the first place well apparently it was all thanks to his older brother stealing
his iPod for three days but Mo's he got it back well it was loaded up with the
Meek Mill album dreams and nightmares then we would not just be the first
rapper he would ever listen to but also the inspiration to become a rapper
himself I would got to meet me he had a Jamie
chase excited you know chase it and he's to the band's now I see him like with
stacks thanks I'm trying to be like that despite his love for Meek Mill you might
have noticed that little mozi he doesn't exactly sound like him and he described
his sound to billboard as this may sound is more like the new era melodic rapping
it's hard to explain you can maybe compare it to some others like how it
sounds but not how good it is it doesn't sound like anybody in his interview with
DoubleX a little mozi he did come up with someone he feels the
similar to he stated music-wise they'd be comparing me to Drake Drake like or
not mozi says that his mom she wasn't a big fan of pursuing music in the early
days she wanted him to focus on practical things like school and pursue
the rap career well a little later on but obviously mom's advice it was put on
the back burner it like many from his generation he started recording his raps
with a simple homemade setup he actually put his first tracks together with
GarageBand then after linking up with a producer
Royce David well he was able to get some free time in a professional studio and
this is very recorded his more polished tracks including pull up now at the time
of this recording pull up his clocked in 13 million streams on soundcloud and
another 15 million views over on youtube now in the early seattle days mozi he
didn't just record tracks he also performed live although back in those
days he wasn't getting paid big bucks for his concerts in fact he actually had
to pay to get stage time an investment which quickly paid off no one positive
early experience was performing at coast-to-coast live in November of 2016
in the nationwide Star Search a little mosey he took home fourth place what are
the first people to embrace little moseys music was his buddy carry cash
and they would hang out they performed together and were both members of band
kids on top of that well mosey identified him as one of the people who
really took him under his wing he stated my boy carry cash taught me a lot of
stuff too he's from Seattle he's told me a lot of stuff that he's seen and that
other people have done things that I shouldn't
apparently Kerry was given some pretty good advice because mozi he saw success
very quickly he knew he was on to something when his soundcloud was
starting to hit big numbers and the song that really did it is the oldest still
available on the channel off-white and mozi said of the track that was my first
one and it started in like 50 K before pull up people didn't know who I was but
they still knew my sound I was just dropping on Soundcloud and made a video
for pull up and now I'm here of course the most didn't go straight from
off-white to pull up he put work building a catalogue of tracks
including so bad skirt off freestyle - paid been on lame
shit and another seven songs he included on his 2017 mixtape north fast now by
the way that makes Dave it should not be confused with his yet to be released
debut studio album which well will have the same title but it was with his drag
pull-up that drew the world's attention to little mosey the music video was
dropped on elevator on December seventh of 2017 and when asked how he got the
song on the site well mosey explained that it was basically well a matter of
just pushing for what he wanted you told complex I just kept sending it
into the website to Twitter the owners Twitter and then the owner Brian so
lucky he sent it in the messages and he was just saying he wanted to drop it
little mosey moved to LA in March of 2018 and that's when he says he started
to make some money for the first time ever
now that the kid had a few bucks in his pocket and he was rubbing shoulders with
others on the come-up well the world was his oyster I'm speaking about this it
reminds me of my recent trip to LA and well I tell you more about it what it
looks like it's gonna help spoken here you've already candy pence right well if

becoming an opener on juice world world domination tour he also performed at

that the culprit was sleep apnea but other sources they seem to suggest that
it might have been a drug overdose woke up dead off drugs overdose they don't

push forward his latest single noticed it would rack up over 7 million
