If producing is his calling, then writing is Cory-Mo’s passion. “If things go my way,” he predicts, “I’ll still be producing music and writing songs when I’m sixty years old.”
Often dubbed “Houston’s Most Unknown,” Cory-Mo has actually been a staple in the Texas community for years. Co-owning M.A.D. (Money at the Door) Studios with his older brother Mike-Mo, C-Mo has worked with everyone from U.G.K. to Devin the Dude. His musical expertise has been sought after by artists like Z-Ro, Geto Boys, Lil Keke, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, David Banner, and others who felt C-Mo’s classic southern sound added value to their projects.
One of Cory-Mo’s highest awarded production credits appeared on Bun B’s Trill album (“The Inauguration” intro), an album that earned a gold plaque. And while supplying a track for a gold album may seem monumental to most, there is actually an even more significant record on Cory-Mo’s resume. He’s honored to have produced “Underground Thang” on Bun B’s 2 Trill album, the last song Pimp and Bun ever recorded together. Another priceless memory is “Top Drop Dyne,” a Best Buy bonus track on UGK’s Underground Kingz album. “That’s one of the last songs I produced and rapped on with Pimp C,” he says. “I think it’s gon’ forever be a UGK Classic.” Underground Kingz appeared in the 1 spot on Billboard charts adding substantial weight to Cory-Mo’s list of achievements.
While creating music for others has given him a notable reputation, it’s actually writing and recording his own songs that Cory-Mo hopes to bring to the forefront. “People know me for my production more than rapping,” he explains. “But I’m a writer at heart because that’s what I started doing first. I’ve been rapping since I was in fifth grade, so I’ll forever be a writer.”
In 2008, Cory-Mo accompanied Bun B on a European tour that included stops in Amsterdam, Prauge, Norway, Finland, Barcelona, and Denmark. The tour not only opened a lot of doors for him, it also opened his mind to future expansion. A second location of M.A.D. studios was newly unveiled in Atlanta, where C-Mo and Mike-Mo are broadening their client base. Other plans include developing their two companies: Endure Records and Hustle Brothaz Productions, while Cory-Mo concentrates on branding himself as an artist-slash-producer.
As for his full-length album debut, Cory-Mo believes patience is a virtue. “I don’t want to release my album [until the time is right] because I spent so much time on it and it’s so dear to me,” he reveals. “I want to put it out when I’ve got a budget to market and promote it the way I know it should be done.”
With years of experience and fresh motivation, Cory-Mo is constructing a lifelong foundation. “I don’t want to be portrayed as a gimmicky one-hit-wonder,” he states. “I plan to have longevity by staying focused and business minded.”
