Internet Money: The Powerhouse of Hip-Hop Production
by Payton
If you were a rapper in the late 2010s, there were two things that could almost guarantee you success – a music video by Lyrical Lemonade and, perhaps more importantly, a beat made by Internet Money. The iconic hip-hop collective and label was started by producer Taz Taylor with the goal of spreading knowledge about selling beats to fellow underground producers. Their roster includes producers like Nick Mira, Cxdy, E-Trou, and more. Collectively, they’ve worked with some of the biggest rappers in the space like Juice WRLD, XXXTENTACION, Lil Tecca, Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, Post Malone and more. That success gave them the cultural ubiquity to branch out to all aspects of hip-hop culture, with rappers like Rich Amiri and upcoming Elsewhere performer Dro Kenji now signed to the label. In honor of that event, we’ve collected some of Internet Money’s most iconic songs.
Dro Kenji & $NOT - KILL CUPID (prod. Taz Taylor, Rio Levya, Repko, Nash Beats, & Census)
Internet Money, Gunna, Don Toliver, & NAV - Lemonade (prod. Tay Taylor, Nick Mira, Alec Wigdahl, E-Trou, Pharaoh Vice)
Lil Tecca - Ransom (prod. Nick Mira & Taz Taylor)
Rich Amiri & Lil Tecca - Poppin (prod. Rio Levya, ThankYouWill, Paryo, & Taz Taylor)
Internet Money, Gunna, Don Toliver, Lil Uzi Vert - His & Hers (prod. Cxdy, Nick Mira, Taz Taylor, Pharaoh Vice, & Alec Wigdahl)
