Local Corner: Artist Profile - M.O.B.B. by
For some, music is just another art form, but for others it's a way of life. New Jersey's own M.O.B.B. is an example of a group who eats, sleeps and breathes music. The hip-hop group has generated a loyal and increasing fan base after releasing the debut mixtape, MOBB4U.com, earlier this year.
M.O.B.B (Movement of Big Bosses) is made-up of five hometown friends from Plainfield, N.J. Brought together by their love for music, the M.O.B.B. roster consists of Akbar "Aki" Stembridge, Simon "Sinecal" Martinez, RU senior Kevin "Zig" Lacks, Eric "E.Hollywood" Hopkins and Ethan "Aud1o" Yap. All but Audlo are lyricists.
Inspired by personal experiences and songs from hip-hop greats like Jay-Z and Tupac, M.O.B.B. entangles aspirations, struggles and feel-good moments into a web of instrumentals in order to bring listeners what Yap calls "creative insanity".
We try to keep creativity, originality and quality at the forefront of all our music. I think because we hold that standard, it puts us ahead of a lot of our competitors," commented Hopkins.
Don't expect a repetitive sound when listening to each lyricist. The group offers diverse rapping styles; Aki provides a "chill, laid-back style", E.Hollywood offers a "complex simplicity and humor", Sinecal has a "versatile metaphorical" delivery, Zig brings a "raw satirical" flow, while Audlo provides a "clever soulfulness" to the music.
My goal is to create music that will make people feel good, while showing no matter what the situation is, we're all the masters of our own fates and the captains of our own souls," said Lacks.
Determined to get their music heard, M.O.B.B. is currently touring cities throughout the United States, making guest appearances on radio shows and continuously improving their craft. "We have each made sacrifices to progress this lifestyle that we aim for. Seeing it fail is not an option," said Yap. MOBB ON THEIR GRIND! by
The M.O.B.B. (Movement of Big Bosses) is a group of young talented musicians dedicated to creating original and new music whose sound can relate to generations past and present, with hopes of setting the tone for the Entertainment Industry’s future. The M.O.B.B. was established in the summer of 2010 by Simon “Sinecal” Martinez (Artist, Graphic Design) & Eric “E Hollywood” Hopkins (Artist) from Plainfield, NJ. They later met up with Ethan “AuDIO” Conner (Producer, Engineer, Artist) from NY, who helped shape the groups sound and creativity to what it is today. They started the company’s website (MOBB4U.COM) in the beginning of 2011 and began building towards making a name and brand that has the potential to make an impact on the industry. They continue to perform and do interviews for various showcases, blogs, fashions shows and college and internet radio stations, such as Gag Order and have been on a relentless grind to bring their talent to a much broader audience. The M.O.B.B. (having roots predating the establishment of the company) came together through a series of crucial additions such as Kevin “Zig” Lacks (Artist) and Akbar “Aki” Stembridge (Artist, PR) over a 2 year period ['09 - '11]. This young talent is looking like world domination in 2012.
When i first met AuDIO through twitter, he wanted MOBB to come through the studio (which is in Boston) just to spread music whenever they can. I thought it was a bad idea because they lived in Jersey and I didn’t know why they would take the time to drive hours to Boston just for an hour interview. And now I figured it out and the answer is… they trying their hardest to promote themselves so they can make it in this industry. This is a great start for them because many of the past artist that came through the studio were all on their grind to promote themselves every way possible. my first reaction is maybe their songs are garbage because its a random group of rappers i don’t know. But that was all wrong! Their music got me bumping everytime I listen to a track. When they came through the studio, its was just 4 members decked out in MOBB gear. Throughout the interview we definitely had a great time with them because they got great personality that anyone can enjoy their company. Last thing that i want to say about these guys is that I respect what they are doing… going out and about try to make it big in the rap industry and i thing sooner or later it will pay off for them.
Please Check out these guys they are a talented group!
