momowilly, the best thing smoking, heard that hip-hop was dead and that they were looking for her. She's been known to slay beats and beasts with a vengeance. With a voice like cognac sprinkled with gravel, momowilly grabs and holds your attention. More than a spoken word artist, rapper, lyricist, or femcee, she is a philosopher with aphorisms frequently in rhyme. Crafting pieces that infuse traditional hip-hop, performance poetry, and comedy, she offers a style unlike any other. With sex appeal rivaling any in the game, momowilly eschews the tired "lick me to like me" brand of rhyme that her contemporaries used to shoot up the charts and, ultimately, drop out of America's consciousness just as quickly. "I can be the baddest with the phattest, but what else after that? Chicks need to step their game up," momowilly offers with an eye roll.

Lyrics
"Free the Jena 6!" is the public outcry Though the six represent more multiplied They lie about racism being of the past Yet nooses hang from trees on the way to class The sash of school colors, ropes swing with pride No blacks can sit in the trees shade and hide? Their hides are in danger, or so whitey says We’ll hang you, nigger, poking out mighty chests The unrest of the community, finally there’s a mutiny Blacks band together as a result of the impunity Is this the opportunity to examine race relations Segregation of neighborhoods, shops and patrons? The masons and KKK been simmering long Setting up our demise, pushing style of Donkey Kong Songs that we sing, monkey coon type fare Bombarded with buffoonery on blast everywhere Do we dare push past understanding, get to fixing No grand standing, outside with signs picketing Speeches so riveting for cameras crowds pack in Surrounding media pimps Sharpton and Jackson It’s back, son, race card divides, now we defend Black faces replaces Arabs, PE #1 again…
