About Me

We are an Hip Hop group by the name of "RARE" located here in the Midwest. Milwaukee to be exact. Shaolin Entertainment is the label. RARE consists of three members "MO JOE", "ELFY", and "TOMSON". This trio rocks the mic like no other MC you've ever heard. They truly possess the essence of hip hop entertainment. The name "RARE" truly describes the level of their performance. The leader of this rap trio "MO JOE" is multi- talented. MOE JOE started as a solo performer and has since joined with two other members of his family Tomson and Elfy to create what we now know and love "RARE", thus starting the Hip-Hop revolution for the Asian community. RARE has performed in Milwaukee at the RAVE/EAGLES ballroom and everywhere else (Rain, Moon, Area 414, 618, International, etc), everywhere in Chicago Chicago (Cotton Club, Kicks, etc), Fresno, Ca. at the RAINBOW Ballroom and clubs, Minnesota – Aldrich Arena and clubs, Club Frequency in Atlanta, GA, Bangkok - Defusion, etc in Michigan, various festivities/community events, etc. across the nation.

Number one would be their great attitude, consistency, dedication to their craft, they write and produce their own music, last but not least they keep it all in the family. They get along so well. They have already produced and marketed three of their albums on their own. These albums are sold in Chicago, Minnesota, California, Milwaukee, North Carolina, and so forth.
