Young, talented, and thriving rap artist Moruf is ready to inspire anyone ready to listen. Also a member of the 5-man collective "Jersey Klan," his ability to draw in a crowd is unlike anything many have seen. His focus on optimism, life and growth has made him a household name, and he has just gotten started.
When did you realize music was what you wanted to do?
"I've always enjoyed music, growing up I was always surrounded by it. I'm the youngest of 3 – I remember my sisters and I tuning into "The Box" on channel 96, those days were always inspiring. I remember when my sister bought the "Best of Anita Baker" album, and I would just sit and listen to it. I was young, but being able to get my hands on that was incredible. In middle school, I started off singing and doing poetry, and from there, getting my words together became easy, once I realized people enjoyed listening to things they could relate to. I started officially rapping in high school, around age 15. From there, I went into battle rapping, and then soon after I learned how to formulate songs. Its been love ever since."
How do you feel your music has evolved since you first started?
"My music has evolved tremendously. I look at it as layers. my first project I thought, "people will like this” when I released my second project, I thought, "people would like this, and I can enjoy it myself." My next project however, is 100% "Moruf", I am really trying to show everyone who I really am as a person. I've matured as a man completely, and I want everyone to feel that through my music. I've gone through more things, I've lived more, and seen more. The growth is amazing."
Would you place a genre on your music?
"It's definitely hip-hop, for sure. But it's also me- something I want to make sure is relayed properly through my music. My music reflects me. If I'm going thru things, you can see that through my lyrics. It shows all sides of me."
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
"I see myself in other countries- as a matter of fact, I see that a year from now. I want to be in other states, countries; I want the world to hear my music. I want to go to Nigeria, and perform live for all my cousins there. I see growth. A lot of growth."
he continues,
"I'm a fan of music, you know? Nowadays, people are so inflated with pride they forget to admit they are fans. I just love what I do."
