ABOUT MONEY MAN:
Rapper Money Man has emerged as one of the most talked about artists out of Atlanta in recent years. Through his relentless release strategy and fierce message of entrepreneurship and self-worth, Money Man has carved his own lane independently. Money Man first made waves when he bought himself out of his previous contract with his earnings from early investments in Bitcoin, to then partner his label with independent label EMPIRE. Then, with a bombardment of music that marries street culture to self sustainability topics – such as real estate, farming, technology, the stock market and more – Money Man emerged as a near mythical artist that continues to share his wealth of knowledge with his fans.
After hundreds of millions of streams, Money Man has now captured the attention of his peers with features from Lil Baby, Jackboy, YFN Lucci and more. His latest project, Epidemic, features RIAA-certified Platinum track “24” – a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant – that has now amassed millions of streams and a remix with Lil Baby.
