BowWow aka Shad Moss

Sometimes its hard to picture artists as real people. This artist has really amazed me throughout his career. He was introduced to us as Lil' BowWow under the guidance of Jermaine Dupri, Snoop,and Dr.Dre...he gave us cds from Beware of Dog, Doggy Bag, and Wanted. He did multiple concerts, shows, tv appearances and movies.

Then everyone remembers the time he spent away from his mentor JD, when he released his album Unleashed. There were many rumors and blogs, and talks and questions about their friendship and the world was confused. But,they settled thier differences and rekindle their freiendship. And off they went!

Speaking of movies, he started with Like Mike with him and Morris Chestnut, then went on to the Johnson's Family Vacation with stars like Steve Harvey,and Solonge Knowles,Cedric the enetertainer,and many others.

As he continued to grow, he came with cds like The Price of Fame and New Jack City II (based on the movie -New Jack City 1). When it came to movies he went back and did the movie Roll Bounce with his celebrity co-stars-Marcus, Khleo Thomas (from the movie Holes as Zero),and new comer Brandon T. Jackson, with many other star co-stars. He also did a cameo cd with his friend Omarion called Faceoff. Many people judged this project. They have their views on it but it was an interesting cd.

With that in place, he did Fast and Furious:Tokyo Drift as the character Twinkie. And he's done a movie that is coming up called Lottery Ticket with Ice Cube that comes out in August 2010. Also he did a movie called Hurricane Season with Lil' Wayne and Forrest Whitaker and etc.

As far as other projects, he has four mixtapes: Half Man,Half Dog Vol 1&2, Greenlight 1&2. He also has many YouTube videos to these songs that he's recorded.

As of right now, he is signed to CASH Money Records NOT Young Money! Although he has made this VERY clear on his Ustream videos (www.ustream.tv/officialbowwow) he is signed to CASH money. Yes they are under the same label but they are also different.

With all of the cds,movies,tv appearences(Entourage for example and appearance in the movie All About The Benjamins with IceCube and Mike Epps),and BET's 106 and Park(making that his home. Giving him the name Mr.106andpark,and the rumors,family,friends,he still has time to write on his own blogs(http://www.whoisshadmoss.blogspot.com/) and put his own views on things for others to comment on. So good check it out,it will leave you speechless!

Name: Shad Gregory Moss
Birthdate: 3/9/1987
Label: Cash Money Records
Hometown: Columbus,Ohio

Started out with Scream Tour which brought out many artists like B2K for example. This site will give you an inside look into his thoughts. You know,watching tv,and the media, you have your views on how you see them. But as I read this recent posted blog,it showed me that regardless of the things he does on and off camera, he still have thoughts,wishes,feelings,emotions,etc. I even read some of the old blogs and it taught ME alot.

One of the things I love about him (like Omarion)is his relationship with his mother. Although at sometimes I don't understand it,thier mother/son moments from his Ustream videos,I am reassured by HIM that I am not the only one. They have a unique relationship that they understand and that is all that matters to me.

I love when an artist goes out their way to reach their fans or to get the record straight. Its fullfilling.
Today he on twitter, he thanked those who viewed and commented on his page. I can't wait until his new album comes out that he does with his new CASH Money family. I can't wait to get a glimpse of the life of BowWow introducing Shad Moss. :-)
