GhostWridah ft. Steven A. Clark - The Money

GhostWridah - The Money

Producer: Steven A. Clark

Album: Unreleased

Label: The L.Y.F.E Music

We could all name a few rappers who will decry materialistic excess on one joint, only to conveniently forget their principles when it comes time for the obligatory cash-themed record. But could GhostWridah, the Miami native who spit so eloquently about the perils of unchecked consumerism on Red Bottoms, really release a jam that’s all about The Money? Well, he could have, but I’m happy to say he hasn’t. Instead, this potential mixtape cut finds the freestyle alum taking a critical, if not outright cynical stance on the paper chase. With Stephen A. Clark‘s reverb-drenched guitar stabs ringing in the background he also steps out from behind the boards to contribute a haunting hook, Ghost details a world where everything has its price, right down to one’s most deeply-held values. Not that he himself is immune: “Mama told me the love of money was Satan’s trap / Well, if that’s so I should have been to hell twice.” The end result is as fresh and insightful as anything Ghost’s brought us to date – but I’ll let readers have the final say on whether it’s mixtape material. In any case, fans won’t want to miss the Booth-hosted American Alien, due out April 25.

Oakland DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 84	Rating: Oakland's Top Rated Songs When rappers rap about money, it's fabulous. When singers like Drake and Fergi sing about money, it's crap. This song is what I would consider music. I've never heard of this guy, but I am definitely going to look into more of his music.
