 | Lil' Mo
THE GODMOTHER OF HIPHOP AND R & B
Lil' Mo has been working this full-time job “Soul Music Provider” since the year 2000 when she took the R&B world by storm. Her first two albums, Based On A True Story and Meet The Girl Next Door, served as a worthy introduction that the effusive singer/songwriter/Executive Producer/and self-proclaimed GODMOTHER of HIP-HOP and R&B, was indeed a force to be reckoned with.
With a Discography that includes her two solo albums, plus hits for Chante Moore, Gerald Levert, Nate Dogg, Tha Eastsidaz, Fabolous, Ja Rule, 2Pac, Miri Ben Ari, Mobb Deep, and Darius Rucker, no one can doubt that not only is Lil Mo a star, she’s diversified in her writing style like no other.

A New York reared, yet Baltimore bred self-described 'military brat', she moved frequently, but with the knowledge that true 'constants' in her life were a loving family, an impenetrable connection to the church, and her ability to stop a room 'cold' with her singing. "On any Sunday morning, my father - who is also my pastor - will just hold the mic up in my direction and I know it's on," she laughs, sincerely.
Mo’s dedication paid off when began guest starring and collaborating on a host of superstar albums (Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Blackstreet) and landing her own record deal with the now defunct Elektra Records toward the close of the '90's. A fertile period for the outspoken artist, she launched two critically acclaimed albums, Based on A True Story (2001) featuring the hit "Superwoman," and Meet The Girl Next Door (2003), boasting the smash, "4-Ever," featuring one of many collaborations with friend and #1 supporter Fabolous.

After a brief hiatus from the business, 2002 found the artist exploring another one of her 'hidden' talents: Guest-hosting for a variety of New York-area DJs as a radio personality. Within six months, she had the highest-rated afternoon drive show in the market. Despite offers for a permanent radio spot from stations across the country, Mo knew that, soon, she had to return to her first loves: singing and performing. The results of the wait were phenomenal. The year following her time off, included tours with Jay-Z. 50 Cent, and Carl Thomas.
Lil' Mo's specialty is the purity of her songwriting, and the unblemished vocal delivery that brings her stories home. She's always been an artist able to find that source of connectivity in all of us. Upcoming features include “a dream come true feature” with Coko (SWV) and Faith Evans, as well as songs with a slew of reputable artists. The magic about her is she's able to connect once again to her core audience, while inviting new fans in with open arms, to what she calls the new world of LIFEMUSIC. So with that being said, the GODMOTHER has arrived, again.
