‘It all started on a Karaoke machine’. Those are the words uttered from Orlando, FL native Mouce, who is now one of the most promising MCs the world has yet to truly hear. As a young teenager Mouce began his career by constructing songs on a karaoke machine, and later began selling his self produced albums in school. ‘It got to a point when I was in high school that I would go to school with a backpack full of CDs and leave with a pocket full of money’, says Mouce. Those days of karaoke recording are long gone for the burgeoning star, who has built a steady buzz by releasing mixtape after mixtape since 2005. His new Mixtape ‘Ryda Life’ has garnered much attention throughout Florida, and is beginning to set the streets on fire. More than just a ring tone rapper Mouce is dedicated to making not just hit songs, but classic albums. Not only a great lyricist, he also produces tracks, and is the president of his label Low-G Records. His Video ‘Ganksta Solja’ set the standard for underground videos, and reached number 3 on the charts of VideoMixx, a Miami based video network. Many of the same obstacles that face our urban youth today have been overcome by Mouce, who inspires kids in his old neighborhoods to believe that with dedication, anything is possible. He is the first however to realize it is a long journey ahead. ‘Life is a grind, life is a struggle, but you’ve got to see the light at the end of the tunnel’, says Mouce. ‘Some people are afraid of chasing their dreams, me on the other hand, I’m afraid to not chase my dreams’. The name of his new project to be released soon however may say it all: ‘Failure is not an option’…
