MohA MmZ 15
Sweet, kind and sincere, these are some of the adjectives that could be used to describe Moha, one of the much loved members of the QLF Family. Although he has always been known alongside Lazer in their group MMZ, Moha has now taken off on his own and we must say that he's doing well. The 23 year old artist managed to create his own universe without changing the person he has always been and who has always charmed his fans. From his real name Mohamed, he never fails to pay tribute to the neighborhood where he grew up and where he took his first steps as a solo artist: one of the most famous neighborhoods of French Rap: Tarterêt in Corbeil-Essonne in the Parisian suburbs. In this interview with A Rap & A Cup Of Tea, Moha reveals everything he wanted to share with Euphoria and all the passion he put into this first solo album. Euphoria is without a doubt a complete and polished work, worthy of Moha's talent. We can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
What made you want to go solo? It was a new challenge. We already had 3 albums plus a re-release and this idea came naturally. I've been rapping for such a long time and I started solo so it's a bit like going back to my roots. Starting a solo project has always been a challenge but also a dream. Even if I did a lot of things with MMZ, I really wanted to share what was important to me personally in a project.
In "Mon Bébé" you say "I've always had a lot of inspiration", did the fact of having complete artistic freedom while being solo help you develop your creativity even more? Yeah big time! When you're solo it's all about what you want, everything I wanted to do I did. Whether it's the choice of the album title, the cover, the tracks, the collaborations with beatmakers, the videos... it's all me. When you're two, it's two different choices, so not necessarily the same desires etc.. But there are also some drawbacks in that it's easier when there are two of you to deal with things, whether it's success or hardship. And most importantly, it's always better to enjoy it together.
