We are in such a creative season right now in the arts / entertainment industry. Rather you are a blossoming content creator, independent artist, new business owner, or even started a shopify page for your boutique, the amount of ambitious people going out into the world to make their own mark has skyrocketed. Since the start of the Pandemic many people have decided to push their entrepreneur careers farther and that’s exactly what Emodagreat and Mondoe2xx are doing!
Hailing from South Carolina, the dynamic duo has been working together growing their own foundations in the music industry simultaneously. For some people, the thought of leaving your home to relocate to a bigger city to pursue your dreams sounds terrifying. When you truly have the ambition and drive to go after whatever you want the sky is always the limit. Both hustlers, between the two of them their skill sets are impeccable.
Emodagreat grew up in Gaffney, South Carolina. He has been doing music since he was a young child and could not dream of doing anything else. At an early age he joined a R&B group with 4 other close friends and family members. They put in endless consistency and arduous work leading up to them landing then losing a record deal. The group’s name ‘Unlimited’ had a deal on the table with Universal Records. After the deal did not go exactly as planned the group eventually broke up but of course remained close. Emodagreat has also collaborated with Mega Producer Dameon Green and has been strategically working on his career. Mentioning that he plans to grow an ‘occult following’ to solidify a loyal fan base for the endless success of his music, he is in this for the long run. Today with the rise of social media platforms and DIY music uploading sites if he stays consistent, he can do just that! He is also family oriented and works with his 14-year-old daughter who produces his music. This year he plans to release a new single every week to grow his momentum, further push his new clothing line ‘Dormir,’ as well as work on the foundation of his own record label. Not looking to slow down collaborating with others, Emodagreat has also begun the start of a fresh music group, MLBG‘Major League Boss Game.’

Mondoe2xx also from Gaffney, South Carolina is an entrepreneur in his own right. The artist moved to Hollywood to further his music career. With a collab featuring Quality Control artist Duke Deuce, he would love to one day collab with Grammy artist Lil Baby. Residing in Hollywood, California, and Emodagreat in Inglewood they are taking California by storm. A lover of music himself, Mondoe2xx just launched his own film/music company called Birdz Eye View Productions. He started rapping at the age of 18, but it was not until the death of a friend around 2020 until he really started to take himself seriously. Today music and fashion go hand in hand with dozens of mainstream rappers launching or getting behind clothing brands. Mondoe2xx also has a clothing line out ‘Activated Clothing Brand’. He mentions that he was inspired by a friend who launched his own collection that got him dabbling into fashion. Rap artists Lil Baby, Polo G, and G Herbo musically influence the Carolina rapper. Understanding the importance of self-investing, Mondoe2xx is not shy to put the work in to progress his career. He initially moved to California to attend the New York Film Academy where he honed in on his video production skills. With his own film company under his belt, he shoots videos for Emodagreat and vice versa. Mondoe2xx also attended the Musicians Institute in California to learn the production side of the music business. The two artists are investing in themselves 100% and plan to have a very productive 2022.
