New Non-EP Track Flips Recent Track From The Weeknd
The Song:
Moe Green's latest single is not off his forthcoming Lionheart EP, which will be released on June 25th and is being presented by OnSMASH and BRWTNSS, but instead, in a similar vein to his recent Frank Ocean-flipping "Great Swim," takes on another buzzing R&B group. For this song titled, "707," producer iD utilizes a loose track that flips The Weeknd's "Glass Table Girls" song and pulls the lyrics "Bring the 707 out" looping them over the beat, a move that's especially fitting for Moe Green, being that 707 also serves as the area code of his hometown Vallejo, CA. The lyrics, "Never hard to be dope, but great is where achievement is/ They recognize I'm unrecognizable to the weaker shit," showcases Moe's motto. "It ain't that hard to be dope," he explains, "The inspiration was just to show that my slept on city goes hard."
The rap game is overflowing with aspiring new MCs, all crammed into a single ring fighting for that lone heavyweight title. One particular competitor who has fully dedicated himself to the good fight is 22-year old Moe Green from Vallejo, California. His forthcoming debut album, Rocky Maivia: Non Title Match, is titled after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's first professional ring name and perfectly embodies Moe place in today's hip-hop circuit - the newcomer who is one day going to hold the championship belt. Like any fighter, years of training, dedication, and discipline are required to claim the top spot. Moe has been training for this his entire life. Having competed in speech and poetry meets growing up, Moe found himself genuinely attracted to the creative freedom music imparts early in his life, even writing rhymes in kindergarten with his childhood best friend and E-40's son, Droop-E. Listeners of Rocky Maiva can expect to hear tales from a young man from a hard hit city trying to find his way in the world the best he can. On growing from Rocky Maivia to one day standing amongst the greats, Moe says, "I need to win a couple belts first. I have to prove that I have the skill to do that and this album is like my wrestling debut." And so, the journey begins.

D Banga was a hit with the college DJs all around the world when he pushed his single Shorty earlier this year, peaking in the top five on both college charts. He then went on to land placements on various websites with his follow up Put Your Hands Up as well as appearing on the In Da Streets mixtape from Sirius XM DJ KD aka Han D Man.
The pressure was on to create an entire project to prove that he was more than just a one or two hit wonder and to assist in that he enlisted the help of Justo Award winning DJ Furious Styles. Impressed by the collection of tracks which D Banga provided, it was a no-brainer for the Washington DC based DJ to jump on board to host and mix the project.
Bursting at the seams with the music D Banga is becoming known for, TAKE IT BACK HOME is about enjoying life and not letting the daily struggle beat you up. The energy and enthusiasm the Brownsville rapper advocates is about using music for enjoyment. His storytelling combined with catchy hooks and impressive production from the Cash Entertainment stable of producers is forever present on each of the ten tracks on the project, which will be released digitally on iTunes later in the Summer with bonus material.
Enjoying the attention of the ladies and happy to provide songs that the ladies will appreciate, TAKE IT BACK HOME makes sure the fairer sex are catered for with songs such as Waiting on You, When You Coming Over and I'm Not Like the Other Guys. Bringing a more uptempo vibe to the ten track offering are songs such as All We Do is Party, the single currently being promoted, Famous and the infectious Put Your Hands Up.
While he may just be starting to grab people's attention with the solid stream of music he is putting out, the release of TAKE IT BACK HOME next week is guaranteed to put him under the spotlight.
