We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael (Mobbin101) McCrary and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael (Mobbin101), what is the most important factor behind your success?
I’m relentless. I truly believe my hunger separates me from most. I’m always looking for a better way to something. As we know, discipline is what you do when nobody is looking. Even on the days things get difficult, I stay at it. Exotic Mob Music,LLC will be memorable.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
East Palo Alto,CA Native Mobbin101 is on a Mission! 
Catching many by surprise, Mobbin as many call him is a true steppa. Having played college & professional football, Mobbin isn’t your average rapper. Always humble,yet steady grinding is his mindset.
 Heavily influenced by Nipsey Hussle,GCarter1300 (Lawless/EMM), Shill Macc (UGR), Messy Marv, and Shady Nate (Livewire/ShadyNation), which are featured on the scorching hot project “MOBBIN IN TULUM” Mobbin makes it known “off the dribble” that he’s not to be played with. In fact, in 2009 Mobbin faced a substantial bid in the state penitentiary for weapons and drug charges.
With hits like “Circles”, “Coke Wars” ft. Cleveland’s Killa Pooh which landed a spot on Maybach Music Group’s Dj Smack Silly’s Record Breaker Vol.9 Mixtape, “W.H.O”, In The Zone ft. Bay Area Legend San Quinn and “Spin Da Block” ft. AP.9(Mob Figaz) and Shill Macc ; Mobbin is definitely trending high.
From Studio sessions with Grammy Award Producer Drumma Boy,to meetings with Grammy Winner Dj Khaled, Mobbin101 is validated domestically & internationally. 2024 -New Year Same Mob,is what the entrepreneur/mogul preaches. The Source Magazine,Hollywood Unlocked, StupidDope,Elucid Magazine, HipHopSince1987, and 24Hip-Hop Magazine,are just a few pieces of press Exotic Mob Music, LLC CEO has under his belt.
Exotic Mob Music ,LLC. Is a label the industry needs to keep their eye on.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
It depends on who it is honestly. Definitely have to stop at Back- A-Yard Caribbean Grill in Menlo Park,CA.

Roscoe’s is definitely a must have. Even if you’re equipped, call in your order ahead of time.

Barton G Restaurant is official too.

Aside from Beverly Hills, I move around or shop online. Definitely a fan of some new upcoming brands: Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup, HoodForbe$, to name a few.

Hit the beach! Knock you a piece, get some money and stay out the way.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
For starters blessings to the most high, for allowing me to wake up everyday. I want to give a lot of recognition to Amanda Alicia- CEO of Influence Management. I often tell people that often all it takes is one person’s belief to ignite an everlasting fire. I love Amanda. Her work ethic, mindset exudes that and I’m forever grateful to know her.

Secondly , Johnathan P. Wright and rest of the RADIOPUSHERS family. It’s been quite the journey, but I wouldn’t go into battle with no other squad. Thank you for believing in me, working with me, pushing me towards further greatness.

All the DJs and Promoters! Thank you! Without you, my music is not heard. To the fans,Thank you! I can’t do this without you.

To my kids Diamond & Giahna McCrary,I love you two more than anything!
