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. She offers a style fresh as baked bread, crafting pieces that infuse traditional hip-hop, performance poetry, and comedy. 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 a sneer.
This award-winning poet received critical and national acclaim when, amongst tens of thousands of entries, she was proclaimed Grand Prize Winner of Bryant McGill’s Poetry contest in January 2007 with her socio-political piece “It’s the Real (AIDS and Babies).” This, coupled with extensive internet buzz, thrust momowilly into the address books of many heavy hitters in the literary and entertainment industries, expanding her audience. Her oration of this piece and many others including “Dumb Ass Hoes,” “A Portion,” and “Science is Fiction,” has garnered her a huge fanbase worldwide. She has performed her pieces from the top to the bottom--Brooklyn to Miami--to standing ovations. In April 2007, after performing the year before, she was asked to host two events at the Pan-African Bookfest in Ft. Lauderdale. In September 2007, she contributed to a benefit CD "Justice for the Jena 6" with her solo track "The Jena 6 Catalyst" to raise money for the legal fund of those victims of social injustice.
Having an unmatched mind, artists such as Jason Weaver, Mya, Cassidy, and the legendary Michael Jackson have applauded her work and artistry, commending her one-of-a-kind approach to life. When asked of her inspiration and influence, she offers, “The truth is what matters most. Getting people to understand themselves and the world around them so that they can make better decisions and be better people.” After a producer backed out of a deal and absconded with the masters for her unreleased debut, "THE momowilly EXPERIENCE," the renegade leaked many of the tracks online to provide her fans with the long-awaited material, spitting in the face of corporate America and remembering her focus in providing the truth to the masses. She is currently working on several guest appearances and mixtapes, taking her intellect and pride to another level. Don’t duck when the truth is thrown.
