- Born in 1983 MOsley WOtta (aka Jason Graham/MOWO) moved from the city of Chicago to Bend Oregon when he was nine years of age . It wasn’t until he moved to Oregon that MOWO began to explore rap music beyond popular radio. Listening to the works of artists like Atmosphere , Aesop Rock, Saul Williams helped Graham to understand the greater reaches of Hiphop culture. As a result his personal beliefs in hip hop became more inclusive. Each show is meant as a forum for thought, humor and honesty; key components to meaningful human interaction. The “MOsley WOtta” moniker has a deeper meaning, beyond its light hearted word play.
The idea that “we are all mostly water” is a metaphor that finds its way into all of Grahams work . Like Muddy Waters or Howlin Wolf, the name represents our character style and message that which will live on after we pass . The Name carriers the message, and this case the message is commonality.
