M.O.S., based in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne represents UK hip hop from a different angle; as a young asian male having grown up in the UK. His lyrics are articulate, sharp, metaphorical and politically conscious. Musically funk driven beats with elements of jazz, soul and desi vibes. M.O.S. is an extremely talented artist who has been producing and writing original material for over 6 years. The music has so far been distributed mainly via friends and family on a local, low key basis. However M.O.S. is now seeking greater exposure into the industry.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yeah, have played live in the past at various events, including 3dom festival in Sheffield.
