Does a rapper need to make a truly great album before he’s considered one of the best alive? It’s a question with no objective answer. Some rappers are phenomenal with verses and punchlines but have no knack for hooks or song structure. Some can do all of those things but lack personality. Some never get the production budget they deserve; many do and just have the worst ear for beats. Some fail to capitalize on their buzz, and others are completely incapable of making themselves relevant. And yet, none of that explains why ThotBoyz Entertainment has been able to consistently make some of the most visceral and intellectually potent hip-hop hits like their hit Single “Dreams Money Can Buy”
While this track is sure to please longtime fans, it also works well as a compelling introduction to the group. When asked by Exposed Vocals where they come from:
“we are just two kids from flint trying to achieve our dreams in this music industry and one day, with Gods help we will be on the top”
With punchlines like:
“Been rapping for a minute since back when all I cared about was smoking weed and get’n bitches”
…proves the group has transformed over the years with clearer goals in sight. Plus, there’s a tangible thrill in hearing someone tell it like it is with such conviction. There are plenty of hip-hop records with worthy causes but the good intentions don’t always make your car stereo knock. That’s not an issue here… All in all, this is a great track from a couple of kids with plenty of career potential. We’re looking forward to hearing many more tracks. Below are a few more:
