At the tender age of 4 years old, Edward Moses found hip-hop. However, it would be 10 years before it took a complete hold of him. At age 14, Edward turned his love for prose, slam poetry, vivid imagery, and eclectic musical tastes into a musical force, and combined it with his love for science fiction, and a developing lung capacity. Thus, Agent Mos was born. What followed was a history of mixtape features, crew affiliations, and a grassroots hip-hop mentality that landed him in a variety of situations ranging from battles to cyphers. Agent Mos' brand of hip-hop is a breakbeat beat down, that keeps heads infectiously nodding, minds working, and true hip-hop fans putting their hands opposite to the ground to fuel him on. He has worked with several musicians and producers around campus, including DJ Spinnerty, DJ Bozak, and the Greg Spero Trio. His live shows are guaranteed to capture a spirit of hip-hop that was seen in its golden age. His first album, "ILLuminate", is scheduled to be released independently at the end of March, and he has been featured on Green Street Records (Playlisted - "City Life", 2005), Concert Records (Greg Spero Trio - Live in 25 - "Paper", "Heavy", 2006), and Mjeztyck Records (Mjeztyck Three - "Schizophrenia", 2001; Birth of the Havoc Unit - "Mortal Kombat", "Return Of..", 2003).
