Doors 7pm

M.O.P. (Mash Out Posse) are one of the most uncompromising and explosive duos in hip-hop history. Consisting of Billy Danze (born Eric Murray) and Lil' Fame (born Jamal Grinnage), M.O.P. emerged from the hard concrete of Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York—an environment that shaped both their sound and their worldview. Their music is raw, aggressive, and brutally honest, channeling street reality into high-energy hardcore hip-hop that has earned 
them legendary status worldwide.  
M.O.P. first made waves in the early 1990s, quickly standing out for their no-frills delivery, militant intensity, and unfiltered lyricism. Their debut album To the Death (1994) laid the foundation for their reputation as one of the toughest acts in the game. But it was the release of Warriorz in 2000 that cemented their legacy, featuring timeless anthems like Ante Up, 
Cold As Ice, and “Warriorz”—tracks that remain adrenaline-fueled classics to this day.  
Their signature sound blends ferocious vocal performances with gritty, sample-driven production, creating music that feels like a rallying cry from the streets. M.O.P.’s influence reaches far beyond album sales: they have collaborated with countless artists, appeared on major soundtracks, and inspired generations of MCs who value authenticity over trends.  

25 Years of Warriorz Tour  
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Warriorz, M.O.P. are returning to the stages of Europe with the 25 Years of Warriorz Tour—harder, louder, and more relentless than ever before. Since the mid 1990s, Lil’ Fame and Billy Danze have stood for pure, unfiltered hardcore hip-hop, and few acts can match their unique blend of raw energy, military-style pressure, and 
street poetry.  
This tour is a tribute to a quarter-century of uncompromising hip-hop. Fans can expect a set packed with classic bangers, unexpected moments, and a stage presence that has set standards for 25 years. Tracks like “Ante Up,” “Cold As Ice,” and “Warriorz” don’t just get played—they detonate, turning venues into pressure cookers of sweat, movement, and collective 
energy.  
M.O.P. live is not nostalgia—it’s impact. Their shows are legendary: brutal, electrifying, and intensely physical. From the first beat to the last shout, they deliver with a force that leaves no room for compromise.  
M.O.P. are back.  
Not a concert.  
Not an event.  
A damn experience.
