New Music Friday–
I couldn’t let the year end without dropping something new–the mission is 1% better every day. Today, I dropped a. two-piece, Now We Got Money and Character Development," featuring Mick Jenkins, Sam Kayiwa, and Poetically Authentic. This double release ignites crucial hip-hop dialogues, touching on the roles of materialism, self-empowerment, and the pursuit of a more nuanced American dream.
Now We Got Money // Character Development
Now We Got Money dives deep into the complexities of wealth, ownership, and societal values. This isn't just a track; it's a commentary; it questions the worth of materials when you finally 'make it.' Do your possessions own you, or do you own them?" This also marks the second collaboration between Mick and me; our first collaboration, Dreams, just hit one million streams.
Character Development offers a lighter yet poignant examination of personal growth. This song acknowledges that we're all works in progress. We make mistakes, but what’s important is that we learn and move forward with autonomy.
This 2-piece is a stepping stone for my growing audience and the collaborating artists. Mick’s feature brings attention to the incredible local talent of Sam Kayiwa and Poetically Authentic. This is a moment for us to share our voices with a wider audience, contributing to a broader conversation in hip-hop and society.
Rich Robbins Presents: Now We Got Money // Character Development is now streaming everywhere.
