As previously reported, Bow Wow officially dropped his stage name after the BET Awards Sunday, and now he's dropped his first track under his given name, Shad Moss (although "Bow Wow" is still credited on the single artwork).
"Ya Heard" featuring Problem was produced by Dnyc3 of League of Starz. It is thematically reminiscent of Puff Daddy's "Big Homie" with Moss bragging about his bank account, business endeavors, sexual conquests, and being "the man of my town."
"Young n*gga from the city / Getting' money like Diddy keep a bad b*tch with me ," he raps. "Pull off in the Gotti / If the b*tch ain't f**king then she don't make past the lobby."
Moss explained the name change to Rap-UP TV when asked if he'd been planning it for a while.
"Yes, I've always thrown hints about it, thorough my music. Like I said for all my fans that have grown with me they know the name. ...I'm embarking on so many different things now-- television, clothing, you name it, everything. So it's kind of hard for me to just be Bow Wow."
Moss said the name change isn't a big deal for those who have been following his career and that he was surprised how big of a deal the media made it out to be.
"It's a name that they've heard my whole career...to me it wasn't that big of a deal. I was kind of laughing at the reaction; everybody was just making it like some of the biggest news in the world. But to me, it was just hilarious because I was just like, sh*t, I'm just using my normal name."
