hip hop's new daily operation
TheMotto No. 3 is here.
I’m Elliott Wilson, and I’ve been covering hip hop on a pretty-much 24-hour basis via my social feeds since 2008. TheMotto brings it all together in one place — the most important stories and moments of our culture. I’m passionate about documenting this fast-paced world— and it’s time to share more of my personal stories and thoughts. We’re just getting started on this journey— subscribe to TheMotto.

One time for the birthday man, Meek Mill. Blessings to the whole family.
Since the MMG early days, Philadelphia’s finest, in good times and bad, has always kept it 100 with me and we’ve created some amazing content together including two historic CRWNs. One of my favorite moments found us driving thru his hood late night. It was 2017 and I got a glimpse of a severely bullet-ridden Chinese food spot sign. Fun night in the trenches. Ha!
