Moe Da Bow (born as Mohamed Essawi is Doha, Qatar... Originally from Alexandria/Nubah Egypt)
Moe da wannabe Bow is a rapper or melodiest, known for his laid back style and randomnes of freestlyles.. He currently resides in Doha, Qatar in the Middle East. He is an African Arabian underground rapper, and is under the group of ArsonCity with other felow rappers "Boo 201, Kryssa Nalis, Kia da Black Buddafly and A.S.P (Ayman da Suppa Producer). And the founder of the group is also a rapper, composer, writer and producer 215 Karats. He mostly records in his room studio 3rd Flow Productionz.. And he is strictly underground, and sells his records on the streets of doha. Mostly dairy queen or pizza square, or just random people standin on the street.
He was born on the ..., and had mostof his childhood in Qatar. He never had trouble of expressin himself, and he did whatever came to his mind. He was first fascinated by the art of music at the age of 5, and his first song to ever hear was "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. There to him Michael Jackson was the whole world, he was so amazed by his dance and music that he knew that no matter what went on in his life, he had to do somethign similar to that. He grew up listenin to Michael Jackson and just at the age of 7 he had found a Rakim & Eric B tape layin down on the floor. He played the tape to check it out, and then there it was. The magic of rap just directly hit the young Moe da Bow back then known as Kimo. He quotes "i was young and stupid, all i knew was tom & jerry n video games, but once dat jam start playin, n hit me juss like a bowlin ball strikes dem 10 pins out.. ma head had to move wid da beat (bullshit), and i had no idea what he was sayin, but it was off da heezy, and now i knew dat dass wht im gon do fo ma life" He had many interests in life after that Rakim discovery, at first he always wanted to become a soldier, because he had a thing for guns and killing. Then he wanted to become a sailor because the sea was his passion. Then for a very long time he wanted to become a Rocket man and deep in astronomy. Moe Da Bow always knew how to get out of trouble, and he had his ways around the ladies. He always enjoyed chillin and learnin new things, for he can speak more than 6 languages, he has an urge for trivia and stiumulating his general knowledge. As a young boy Kimo always used to go compete in dancing, pulling of slick MJ moves. He was always known for his uniqness, and ability of doing random things. He also grew up in an environment where egyptian music was played everywhere, and in North Africa esspecially there was music everywhere. They say egypt was the origin of many genres of music. So he always used to drum on whatever he could get his hands on, the coach, the table, pots pans anything that made noise. Esspecially with his cousin Hisham, even MDB says "Cot tamn, me and hisham would stay up all mafuckin night juss drummin n drummin n makin up new tunes, all kinds of drummin... im tellin u we was crazy wid beeetz.." Another remarkable era ran through in his life was the "Snoop Era".. He said that one day his brother A.B.D came home with the Dr Dre 2001 album, and from there the magic took its toll once again. After Kimo heard snoop dogg, he was shocked, he says "mayne o mayne, once da doggie dogg start rappin.. i jus sat back n witnesed a beautiful art.. i was like cot tamn, dats some laid back flow right there... his flow jus got u in da right mode.. dat shit was pimpin mayne.. "
MOE DA BOW FIRST RECORDIN EXPERIENCE EVER (aka DA ABDOOOL THEORY) Moe da Bow first time ever to record anything: Abdoool was always known for his raw thinkin and quick ability to come up with solutions, Abdool had a great impact on his little brother Moe da Bow, althout Abdool never knew anything about recordin or sound, neither did his brother but he still somehow played around with his common sense to solve the recording problem. Abdool broke it down to four parts which to Moe are very valuable,they are 1:The Basic Recording. 2:The Quality of Sound and Filtering 3:The Countdown 4:Extra Effetcs or Abdool simply calls its "Doubling"
1: The Basic Recording When he was really young, his brother Abdool somehow had an instrumental of a song, and Abdool figured that he could playback the instrumental on a headphone and record on a regular cheap chattin microphone. Abdool then told Moe that later after recordin he would mix the accappella with the instrumental and that would give a better quality to the final sound.
2: The Quality of Sound and Filtering
Abdool then thought about how to even purify the quality more... Abdool thought about the best way to have absolote silence. So Abdool figures out something, Moe says "We was chillin in da room, i codda see dat ma bro was tinkin boust somthin, he den told me to stay quiet, and whatever noise we hear then thats what we is tryna eliminate.. so as we is quiet, we cod hear a dim buzz, straight away abdool was like cut da AC off.. so we did, den again da fan still made noise, so he cut dat off too, denas we is still quiet, we could hear street noises, so he closed da windows.. still u cod hear mutha fuckin horns beepin n brakes screetchin n all dat, but he was like cant do nuthin bout dat.. i remeba him sayin, if we is recordin n ambulance or police sirens r blowin den dats juss an extra effect fo us.. i was amazed bwoy"
3:Da Countdown Again Abdool and Moe da Bow then wondered how would they mix them both and make their verses to beat, and the same timing. So again Abdool thought about it and figured out a way. He said that before recordin he would say out loud "1 2 3" then play the intstrumental, in that way when mixing you will play the instrumental after the count down... Abdool called it "Da Countdown".. it might sound strange or weird, but Moe da Bow sometimes till today records his music using his brother's ideas. He said "ey mayne, i fucks wid protools, some some studio time if da chips r right, but i like doin it da classic way.."
4: Sound Effects or Doubles Abdool figured that all the music always has some sort of effect in it, probably a doubling in the rhyming parts, or when a punchline is there, it should sound harder and more aggressive. So he told him after he records his part, he would playback his verse on the headphone and then just rhyme again with rhymes only. Then mix the two together and save it as on file, then again playback that file and record on top of it the shout outs, "Yeahz or Whats" or better known as Add Lips. And just like that, Abdool figured out almost all the fundamentals of recording while Moe was learning. They then tried all that out, and recorded their first song ever, called "Yalla Ya Claab".. Then after mixing it and waiting to hear how it would sound they were stunned and felt triumphed in their music progress.. Moe says "Man i sat back, after we finished the final recordin pieace, and just listend to it... Abdool jus started riding to the beat like smooth silk, jus blendin in da beat, it was amazin what we have done.. den i heard my part, i was so excited, dat i just burnt a whole lotta copies n gave it to all ma friendz.. everybody said it was hott, but they all said that Abdoolz verse was way better and more proffesional. I mean it was a freestyle, so i go crazy on freestyle, i juss start speakin bout anythign around me, if i see a cup of water, den dats ma topic.." They both admired their success, and from there Moe Da Bow knew that he wanted that good feeling again and again, so he decided from that day, makin rap and songs is what he wants to do,Moe da Bow is working his way up the music game, and its all thanks to Abdool.
Achievments later on: He had his first big hit "Boo Song", on the drop it like its hott beat... It had major attention from all the badoz and other people, because the hook was catchy. He rapped with his best friends for life Ayman and Boo 201. It was mostly for the arab fans, then he had a Doha Qatar Classic Hit named "Doha City".. almost everybody has heard it, and was eventually labelled a Classic. Then again Boo and MDB hit the streets with another head banger with "That Day" its in arabic and english, its mainly for drunkies and dope heads. So it gained alot of attention. Moe da Bow then concentrates on his fame, and tries to go commercial and see the results, he tried that attempt with "Boom Bam" a 215 Karats beat, and it gained fast love and attention.. It was a straight hit, and even the radio requested playing it. It gained 1000 views on myspace.com in 4 days.. So that proved 215 karats work was guranteed, then Moe da Bow went solo and made a song named Zibbee a remake of Kelis's milkshake. It was another huge hit, and again he floods the streets with his provactive and smart lyrics. He then for the first time did a collab with his best producer and friend 215 karats and many people say that it was Moe da Bow's best work ever, the song was called "Grill Em".. and what is weird is that, it isnt really a song, MDB just has one verse and so does 215 karats and thats it, no hook. But that again proves the hit maker 215 karats. Moe then took a different angle, and tried slowing down a little bit, a little something for the ladies he says. He collabd with Kryssa Nalis and Kia da Black Buddafly, to make a ladies favourite "N**** Dont Speak"... another 215 karats productions aswell. Then another collab with his english teacher, Mr Malik Dixon. and made a song named "Wize it Up"... a very diverse song, can be found on maliks page. He then had one of his biggest hits and unforgettable remix ever. He remixed Ne-Yo's So Sick.. Adding a verse in the begginin, he just spiced up the song right.
Trip to USA Moe got to New York and was played on the Hot 97 twice, and then on WXDU in NC. MC'd a party in Duke University.

Moe da Bow and The Police.1: Everything was good in the life of Moe da Bow untill trouble came right from the back and stabbed him. One day him and his friends where chillin, till da cops came because moe and his friends threw bottles at a shop and broke its windows and fireworks were thrown at the petrol station. About 4 police cars came, and they came in and took away all of them, one tried to run but he couldnt. He was dragged to the police station, and most of the girls were freed. Luckily he went home that day, but he knew that just one small visit to the police station wasnt the end, it was the beggining.
Moe da Bow and The Police.2: The morning of Eid, Moe da Bow snuck out his 1981 Mercedez Benz with his friends Ayman, Abdi, Sean and Michelle. Cruisin round the block as usual, but that day something was about to happen. In the middle east its a tradition to skid and do donuts and all kinds of stuff with the car. So he and his friends were doing the usuals daily skids, untill the exhaust pipe of the car fell. So they stopped the car, moe and ayman went under the hood, and when they came out again they saw a scene that made their hearts race. A man dressed in thobe, (traditional Qatari clothes). He asked for liscence, but obviously at that age of 14 they didnt. He said that they were skiddin, and attempting to crash into children and theft. So he called for backup since the case was more than 2 counts. So after 5 minutes the whole block was full with police, about 7 police cars, 5 undercover ones and 3 pickups. They handcuffed Ayman and Moe Da Bow, and took them away. They later found out that they were in serious trouble because the jury said they were 5 cases 1:Driving Under Age 2:Driving Without Licsence 3:Skiding and Speed 4:Attempt of Hit and Run 5:Auto-Theft
It took alot of time to get them out, but they finally managed to, and paid a huge fine.
Moe Da Bow and The Police.3: Again they were chillin on the morning of Eid the next year, and many of this case by Lawyers advise it couldnt be mentioned. So some serious trouble happend and the only cases i could mention were Group Fighting, Attemted Murder, Breakin and Entering, Drugs, and Rape. Which ofcourse he was found innocent in all of them. He was set up and stayed in jail for 2 months.
He got with a rapper named 215 karats, he taught him alot, and from there he learned more about music.
