The story of 27-year old Aryginal (born Andre Moss Jr.) is a refreshing & pleasant one. Aryginal has persistently been working on his craft since he was in fifth grade. Honing his skills as a battle rapper throughout middle & high school, there were few opponents that could stand up to the wit and wordplay the young MC possessed. With a silver tongue, vast vocabulary and mind like a razor; Aryginal has evolved into the total package.

Although many obstacles were present in his involvement of a few Indie labels, he continued strengthening the versatility, delivery, and understanding of the craft he has dreamt of making an occupation since the 5th grade.

By the time he became a freshman in High School, his passion and ability of descriptive storytelling and word-play, mixed with pain, heart, and determination produced an entire closet of notebooks (which he still has to this date). Though his discography is limited to local & regional areas, his ultimate goal is to someday reach the entire World with his unique flow.
Why this name?
I got Ice from a couple of my high school buddies, they said I was the coldest they ever heard. I came up with Aryginal because I felt that it best suited me as an artist and a person. Once me and my partner broke up I decided I would drop "Ice" and just go by "Aryginal" for the rest of my career.
Do you play live?
Yes I play live. I've performed at numerous locations & types of venues in my career.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it easier for the unestablished artist to make a name for themselves and cuts the cost incorperated in production of a project almost in half. I love it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Umm... I'd hate to say no... It really depends, I fear having my creativity altered or taken away by a major label.
