Lik Moss sat down with Philly First 48 for the show’s fourth episode, reconnecting with the host after some time apart. Their conversation spanned his role in OBH (Original Block Hustlaz), industry experiences, and his work in the community.
Beyond music, Lik Moss has been focused on giving back—particularly through youth basketball programs. He spoke about organizing an annual banquet event for kids, now in its fourth year, as part of his ongoing commitment to fostering positive change.
On the music side, Lik Moss provided updates on OBH, revealing that he has been signing talent from various cities, including New Orleans, Connecticut, Brooklyn, Delaware, and St. Louis. He briefly addressed OBH founder AR-AB’s incarceration and hinted at new projects on the horizon, including a Cash Money release set for January.
The discussion also touched on industry tensions, including a past altercation with media personality Mikey T. Lik Moss explained how he has learned to move strategically, making connections that benefit his brand. He also acknowledged internal issues within OBH, particularly with Dark Lo and BR, explaining that he has chosen to distance himself from certain members.
The conversation took a somber turn when discussing the ongoing violence in Philly’s rap scene, including the recent deaths of Fat G and another rising artist. His advice to young rappers was clear: “If you’re an artist, you gotta be an artist. You can’t be nothing else.”
Looking ahead, Lik Moss announced the Philly United Tour, which kicks off October 5 in Somerville, New Jersey, featuring around 20 Philadelphia artists along with a few from New Jersey. The host expressed interest in collaborating on future dates.
Reflecting on his early days in OBH, Lik Moss admitted feeling some jealousy toward older members who received more opportunities but acknowledged that OBH’s reputation was sometimes leveraged for marketing.
Throughout the conversation, Lik Moss provided deep insight into his evolving role in the music industry and the Philly community. While navigating business and personal conflicts, he remains focused on expanding OBH, uplifting young talent, and keeping Philadelphia on the map.
