On May 18th, listeners in the Booth and beyond were shocked and saddened by the shooting death of Atlanta up-and-comer Dolla. Few, however, were more grief-stricken than the late emcee’s label boss. On his Booth debut, Hard For The Money, The Gang Ent. CEO Te Money pays tribute to the fallen artist over a bittersweet instrumental by The Bizness, painting the rapper born Roderick Burton II as a disadvantaged youth who, like so many before him, saw music as a means to escape poverty and hardship. Equally affected by the death of his Konvict/Jive labelmate (and Who The F Is That? collaborator), T-Pain steps up to the mic to deliver a hook brimming with raw emotion. Though the CEO’s rap debut addresses a sad topic, the message is one that Dolla’s fans will undoubtedly appreciate—here’s hoping Te can rise above the tragedy and launch a career that will make his late colleague proud.

R.I.P. Dolla! We missed out on some hot music from you. Also stack bundles as well. That boy was way above average, damn shame this @*#$! violence is still an issue. I guess it always will be...

Wow this is a quality tribute song. Tha Bizness has been on his grind lately. The production was real nice and T-Pain came with a good hook. Te Money (I've never heard of him either) came with some good heartfelt lyrics. Nice!
RIP Dolla |

He was so young, and any death is just tragic. And you cant lie "Feelin Myself" was everywhere.
RIP Dolla Quality production, where a raw T-Pain hook helps Te's heartfelt rhymes hit home. |

Te Money came hard and mice. T Peezy was a nice compliment that didn't overshine the main artist

Great tribute song, except for the autotune which I hate. I'm ashamed to say that, but I absolutely didn't know Dolla was dead. I am shocked people, I like many of his songs! Unfortunately in Italy they talk only about very, very famous people all over the world and I don't know why I didn't see about his death on the Net. I am really sorry...RIP Dolla

RIP Dolla!!
Heartbreak Collision is my fav track from Dolla and when i would hear him i always said to myself "this guy is gonna blow up with his unique style and voice"!! It's sad that we will never see Dolla's full potential!! Te Money sounds really good and T-Pain kills the hook!! 5 stars for DOLLA |
