M.O.P.
Upcoming concerts and tickets

M.O.P., an acronym for Mash-Out Posse, is a prominent American hip-hop group hailing from Brooklyn, New York. The duo consists of rappers Lil' Fame, also known as Fizzy Womack, and Billy Danze. They are widely recognized for their high-energy singles, including the iconic 2000 track "Ante Up (Robbin Hoodz Theory)."

Emerging in 1994 with their debut album To The Death, M.O.P. quickly established a reputation for delivering intensely raw and aggressive hip-hop. Produced entirely by DR Period, the album featured the hardcore rap anthem "How About Some Hardcore," which became a benchmark in the genre, often compared to seminal tracks by artists like Onyx, Jeru The Damaja, and the Wu-Tang Clan.

Their second album, Firing Squad, released in 1996, defied expectations of a sophomore slump. Despite a shift in production, with contributions from Gang Starr's DJ Premier and Lil' Fame himself, M.O.P. maintained their signature sound characterized by hard-hitting beats and impassioned vocal delivery. Lyrical themes often explored street life, conflict, and the realities of the ghetto.
