Moe Green – Masterpiece

DOWNLOAD: Moe Green – Masterpiece

Moe Green has hit the grind like few others in 2011, working on his full length LP, To Who It May Concern, which will be released later this year, while continuing to place the finishing touches on his latest effort, Lionheart EP, which will be released this May for free download and is being sponsored by OnSMASH and BearWitness.com. As Moe continues to put the final touches on the EP in the last few weeks before release, the Vallejo, California representer is excited to release a brand new single, in addition to some special artwork for the track.

  The new single, “Masterpiece,” could be considered a minimal piece, the instrumentation consists of only drums, bass, keyboards, and a wailing guitar, but the sound remains big amidst Moe’s inspired vocals. “My heart beats for the mic needs me/ and when I get up in this game I hope she might keep me,” raps Moe, even dropping a reference to Levar Burton’s character from the 1970’s mini-series, Roots. For Moe, the song is a show and prove moment, and a testament to both the strength of his lyrics and his quality of his songwriting abilities. “Every song I make, I’m trying to make is a masterpiece,” says Moe matter-of-factly. “I love music, but the game can chew you up and spit you out, so it’s important to make timeless music.”
