"Take a chance and try some things you didn't try because that may be the thing that works for you." With a style that is as abrasive as it is welcoming, Emmanuel ’DDm’ Moss is one of the most idiosyncratic voices on the burgeoning Baltimore City rap scene. The Baltimore native, who made his name on the local battle rap circuit, manages to straddle the fence between cool kid and weirdo with a charming accessibility. In this CreativeMornings/DC talk from January 2016, DDm tells us how he got to be the shiny rapper that he is today and shares his thoughts with us on the power of language and how using it mindfully and intentionally can change how people receive you and perceive you.
