Whats On: G MO Senegambia's hottest rapper![]() Friday, October 09, 2009 G MO is another Senegambian rapper to make it to the world rap force as talents continues to showcases. He describes us letter by letter the initials of his MC's name. "G" stands for Galsene (Senegal when you twist it) and Gambia. The letter refers to the Senegambian origins of the rapper. The `' MO'' refers to the name of the artist which is Mohammed and reminds us the very holy prophet of Islam (saw). It is thus a simple combination between the true name of the artist and his origins. Having a dual citizenship, G MO was born in Dakar (SENEGAL) in January 1988 to a Gambian parent. After a few months, he went to France with his mother and will return only eight years later to the Senegalese capital. The child who was in love with Micheal Jackson's music will discover Senegalese rap with groups like PBS, Daara J, Pee froiss or Yat Fu. He also travels to The Gambia where he often settles and learn English. He started to write at the age of 16 and will record his first track at the age of 17. The same year, he makes his first radio show! His flow and his technique will enabled him to collaborate with Senegalese artists like Nix or Fafadi, Gambian artists like MO HAWK (DA FUGITIVZ), Rugie or Junior King and the US beat maker THX (see SNOOP DOGG's "the blue carpet treatment" album). Today G.MO is the first rapper to offer his first album for free. After the first free album that came out in July 2007, G.MO is now preparing "THE COME BACK" mixtape with musical productions of AMA DIOP and BEUGZ. Author: Sheriff Janko | Media Actions See Also |
