From his impressive lyrical density, to his ear for great sound, and close detail to his music, Uton Dixon III, also known as "Wamii G. Bodega" has made his presence known to all other rappers in his area. Fixated on original sounds, and themes, his music is simply incredible - and has made this young talent unstoppable.

("The Famous Nobody" by Wamii G. Bodega)

When did your love for music start?

"I started doing music back in high school. A few of my friends and I would get together during lunch, and we would just rap with each other, all while a lot of people watched.We started having battles, and from there, I formed a group of few people, and we got together and did a few tracks together. After that, I stopped rapping for a little, and got back into it around 2010, after getting kicked out my house. That was an extremely  hard time for me, and I felt like I had nothing I could relate to, or depend on besides music. With this, my writing got better, my sense of music got better; this was when my growth really began."

Do you have any inspirations?

"My overall inspiration would have to be Lupe Fiasco, he gave me the feeling of being able to speak freely, and to open up in my music as best as possible. He's a real legend, somebody I have always looked up to. All I want to do is to make as big as an impact as he did. My other inspiration is Kendrick Lamar, his EP really helped me get through a rough time. He is also somebody who has had a huge impact to music. My latest addition to inspirations would be Ryshon Jones…he really speaks true when it comes to his music. He's really doing his own thing. His sound is so different. It's awesome to listen to, I appreciate the different sounding hip hop."

("Killer" by Wamii G. Bodega)

Wamii is currently working on "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" which is scheduled to drop very soon. "I don't want to focus too much on the future. Too many people forget that the present is equally as important. I want to make sure I am improving myself daily, because things happen to me everyday that give me inspiration for my music.", he answered when asked about his career 5 years down the line.

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."
