Biography

Lil Moe 6Blocka is Chicago’s newest star poised for the spotlight and, at just 15 years old, he’s hungry to prove his skyrocketing singles are the future. “I see myself on every billboard in every city, everywhere. Everybody’s gonna know my name,” he says with a confidence that he’s earning every day. On early effortlessly high-octane hits like “Risky,” “What I Say,” and “6Blocka,” Moe already seems like a fully formed star. His videos are unfiltered and depict his life on the streets garnering millions of views. His voice growls with the aggression of Windy City legends like Chief Keef and G Herbo, but Moe relies on inventive wordplay and unparalleled charisma to stand out in a busy scene. Recently Moe wasn’t sure where he was going to sleep or how he was going to eat. Though he’s been a Chicago mainstay as a friend and collaborator of the late rapper Dooski for the past few years, he spent the early part of adolescence bouncing from house to house, looking for any floor with enough space to call home. At 15, it’s nothing but a number for Moe, and he’s hellbent on proving himself in the music he’s making. Moe’s new songs reflect this confidence, but he’s aware the past is never too far behind. It’s this combination of unbridled optimism and the knowledge that things can always be worse that keeps him barrelling forward. “Anyone who’s doubted me before probably wants to be close right about now. They’re trying to call back, and I ain't trying to talk right now” he says.
