BAY AREA BASED FEMALE GANGSTA RAPPER
BRINGS YEARS OF HARD KNOCKS AND TRUE
STREET CRED TO ‘MAJOR LEAGUE BALLIN’, HER
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED, SLICK-PRODUCED
DEBUT ON LAS VEGAS BASED KENT ENTERTAINMENT’S
FIRSTKUT RECORDS
Catching a glimpse of Mo Wiley (www.myspace.com/moewileyproductionco) for the first time, you wouldn’t guess that the model beautiful, refined looking Bay Area based artist is breaking incredible ground as a female gangsta rapper. Her heritage is Native American, Greek and Italian, she’s finishing her Bachelor’s Degree in biochemistry, and to survive as a single mother, she’s held a variety of cool high profile jobs—everything from clinical assistant for a children’s ICU to Unix Systems administrator for electronic arts and real estate loan officer. She’s also been an EMT and volunteer firefighter.
She may mention her years in an out of juvenile hall that began when she beat up a boy at school and included being mixed up with crack cocaine cookers and dealers. When she was 19, she did 18 months in county jail for a revenge driven home invasion kidnapping at gunpoint. She was spared more hard time because she was pregnant with her second child at the time of the incident and nobody wanted to see her raise her kid in jail.
Though she cleaned up her act and went straight a while back now, all this adds a gritty vibe and real street cred to Major League Ballin’, her highly anticipating upcoming debut on Kent Entertainment’s FirstKut Records. Already a popular club draw in Northern California with a huge fan base in Oakland (where she made Club 17 her home base), Wiley is matching her lofty ambitions with action, starting her career with big time players in the rap biz. Not only is she working with the “Godfather of Rap” (and Kent owner) Morey Alexander (who launched the careers of rap legends like N.W.A, Easy-E, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre), but her album was produced by one of FirstKut’s most popular artists, Slick (from Slick and the Shock Mob).
