Born in Govan and raised in Penilee two notorious housing schemes in the South Side of Glasgow, MOG has built himself a reputation for being a true lyricist, with his gritty autobiographical rhymes and his unmatched flows and delivery.

His poignant observations of life in all its many guises around him, and his social commentary make for a compelling and rewarding listen on many levels.

One half of Forgotten Policy with JKC and a member of the Being crew, MOG is a prolific writer and keen social observer and has collaborated with many artists including Loki, Madhat, Werd, Wardie Burns, Nity Gritz All Time High and Many more.

He has also released two solo albums previously, first was The Grey Area which included the track Roon Here which was voted the number 1 song of 2009 by the Scottish Hip Hop forum.

MOG has also released Based on A Blue Story to critical acclaim and inspired a whole new generation of rappers to pick up the mic and the pen, as well as giving a generation of people some real quality songs that they can relate to.

He is currently working in the Studio with Steg G preparing his next album for release on Powercut productions, which is currently provisionally called "In Black and White" .

All of MOG's albums have had a colour related theme to them as he often visualises sound and music as colours.
