MoeSOS DC is a Washington, DC-born emcee who currently makes his home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. From the late 90s and early 2000s Hip-Hop inspirations, SOS brings to his music an energetic sound and poetic lyrics that aim to provoke introspection and social critique.

It is MoeSOS DC's desire that he and his followers can be healed by developing a community of truth and openness based on the principles of vulnerability and honesty. His debut record, named "SOS" was released in 2017 and he hasn't slowed down since. You can find MoeSOS DC's entire catalogue of music on all major streaming platforms, including his album 'Silhouettes on Sunsets' and his EP The Middle Man.

More than 100 live gigs with a live band and several prominent artists, such as 3OH!3, Footwerk and Band of Tomorrow, have been performed by MoeSOS DC since his debut in 2017. Sound and technical innovation will be used by MoeSOS DC to re-imagine what it means to put on a superb live hip-hop show.

In his first verse, MoeSOS DC uses a variety of flows, rhyme schemes, and tone delivery to elicit an emotional response from the listener, describing his issues with trust, emotional availability, and isolation from his peers. One lyric ends abruptly and abruptly with the listener recalling sad memories of buddy brawling, drug overdoses, and the depletion of innocence.

It's a smart move by MoeSOS DC to allow 4 bars of silence between the first verse and the second stanza so that the listeners can process what they've just heard and prepared for what's to come. MoeSOS DC follows the likes of Mac Miller, Asheru, Talib Kweli, and Fabolous by sampling In A Sentimental Mood, a famous jazz song performed by John Coltrane and Duke Ellington on the 3rd track of his forthcoming album Symptoms of Slavery II.

'Growing up in a place like DC, where one may wake up to the news of a close friend's murder for his shoes,' starts the second stanza. There's nothing more heartbreaking than knowing that people are battling for his life in the hospital. While his opponents are on a cruise, he's "out with the Tom (gun) while his pops are on a smooth flow."

The second verse begins around the midway point of the song, which focuses on the song's central theme of uncertainty about who to trust and dread of solitude, leading to an outcry as one sings the blues. An 8-bar intro is revisited in the outro, which ties the song together and ends it out with a fresh understanding as one senses the song's mournful tone return.
