C Moe at the top of his game

After Ghana Music.com’s editor picked C Moe’s video as “Editor Pick” on the site, C Moe is feeling like a star. He landed his first major media exposure on www.ghanamusic.com as one of the youngest Ghanaian stunners repping it for Ghana in Italy.

And, yes, he’s been calling himself the “hip-hop toy”, “hiplife baggy boy”, “Bed room teacher” for a couple years now and Kumasi Takoradi, Kumasi to Accra can attest that he always looks fly.

At this point in history, as hiplife has its ups and downs, C Moe has promised to put life into the hiplife game.

No new male artist has worked harder this year to win the hearts of rap fans, or done so as effectively as C Moe.

Ghana Music.com catches up with C Moe as he preps for the release of his debut album. It’s his premier album with lead single, “Sika Baa”.

Expectations are higher than ever for C Moe. Ghana Music.com can firmly announce that the official album will hit stores this year, though we will be hearing him on some mix tapes with his underground cats.

Pompous yet passionate, the self-described “diamond millionaire” vehemently stresses about money girls, his album, the hiplife game, his past, present and and future in the hiplife game.
