MC Moe Pope’s career first took off in the early 2000s with Bay Area-based Hip-Hop band Mission (who later became known as Crown City Rockers). After a series of 12” singles, Pope appeared on the group’s LP, One, in 2001, before he decided to return to Boston, Massachusetts in order to look after his daughter. Back in his hometown, he connected with rapper/producer Insight and his five-man outfit, Electric (aka Electric Company). Along with members Anonymous and Raheem Jamal, Pope broke off from Electric to form Project Move, issuing their debut album, Love Gone Wrong/Butterfly Theory, in 2006. As each group’s members went off to make solo records, Pope reunited with his former Crown City cohort Headnodic for the 2008 well received collaborative album Megaphone.
