Dallas, Texas rapper, Money Waters is a certified, dirty-south rap icon, whose lyrics are representative of the struggles of growing up in the hood; amidst a backdrop of crime, drugs, and the blues. He takes a cue for legendary blues artist Muddy Waters in that respect. It is straight out of the genius mind of Money himself. He took on the name to pay respect and homage to the man who put his home state of Mississippi on the map. Money says that he is “tired of the mud and out to get the green.Is this new to you? Catch up here” This is a reference to the Delta state, where the famous Mississippi river starts (or ends, depending on how you look at it).
Money’s introduced the world to his world in his first studio album “The Porch”, which debuted in 2003. It received critical reviews from the industry but most importantly, the fans embraced Money. “The Porch” featured his like, So I (The Other Side of Trickin’), Excuse These Blues, and Ya’ll Next. Much like hip-hop legends, Scarface, Slick Rick, and Cee-Lo Green, Money is a story-teller too. You can blame his upbringing for that; in the south oral histories are such as vivid as a picture. He followed up “The Porch” with Swalhaggin in 2006.
Money is currently in the studio, working on his third studio album.
