Columbia, South Carolina-based rapper Moon Man Dox presents “My Life Is Lit”, the new single from his forthcoming album Westworld. Born in Florida, Dox lived in cities across the state before settling in Columbia. In 2018 he dropped first solo project Moon Man Dox on Spotify. Dox says the new single “was written and recorded in NYC and was inspired by the view of the skyline seen from the view I was standing at in Queens; a random kid born in Florida, who grew up in Columbia, South Carolina, and now in New York.”
MOON MAN DOX
How did you get your stage name?
It came from Paradox which was what i was going by when i first started rapping for fun. My homies called me Dox for short and we would always freestyle and ride around town. One day I recorded "Doxxy Wit The Tool" (my official first ever song) and played it, and after that I was officially Dox forever.
What made you decide to become a rapper?
Music has always been in my life and in my blood, my dad played drums, uncles guitar and piano, I learned guitar and drums at 15 even though I can’t really read music. I always beatbox and rap for fun but never thought i could be a "rapper" because my idols were Eminem, Tupac, Jay-Z...giants. So I got serious into the game when I figured i could be an artist which is what i call myself. I could never fill shoes before me but I can create my own lane musically.
What’s the first rap song you ever heard? Describe the moment.
That’s really hard. My dad told me once my first favorite rapper was LL Cool J lol but I don’t even remember that and I guess I was like 5. First one I can remember is probably Gangsta's Paradise. I liked the song but because I was young. It didn’t have the impact on me that it should, it’s literally just the earliest memory I can think of.
How did “My Life Is Lit” come together?
“My Life Is Lit” was just like any good song. A perfect combination of built-up thoughts and emotions meets real life situations, equals music. I was in New York on business and out of place but also in awe of the city, the people, the culture and just how all odds said I shouldn’t be leaving my state at all. Got friends doing bids, doing drugs, or doing nothing so it was blessing in itself. Plus I was listening to Ride by NBA Youngboy on repeat for some reason, and some point at my hotel in Queens it finally came together in a perfect storm how all good music does, just out the blue. All I could think is… my life is lit.
What are your thoughts on the year in hip hop?
I’m still just a student of the game to be honest though, so my eyes and ears seeing the same shit yall see lol.
