Today we’d like to introduce you to Money Red. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Money Red is a Hip Hop/Rap artist, songwriter & entrepreneur. He was born on July 22, 1985 in Atlanta, GA. Money Red started his career at the age of 16 in Atlanta, GA as the name DirtyRed. He later started releasing music with his cousin T-Rok along with RaRa & Speedy as a group called The Heavyweights. Later teaming up with Montana, Bankroll Fresh & more friends from his neighborhood to make a group called “The Get Rich Clique” with songs like The Bunny Hop. If when you hear Atlanta’s Rap music you imagine Trap music & Dance, think again. Money Red is modern, creative & Inventive. And his music is an emotional language that allows us to feel. Born and raised in the streets of Atlanta, he’s seen things most people couldn’t imagine. When asked why he Rap, Money Red says, “Music is universal & a part of our daily life. It allows us to communicate and tell our story in a different form.” His belief is that Music can uplift you at your most difficult times. He has been in the music industry behind the scenes since 2012. He has worked with many artists in the industry as DirtyRed. Now with the name Money Red, he’s ready to take on a new path.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There’s always struggles being in any type of industry. It’s not about the struggles, it’s about how you overcome them. Growing up in neighborhoods where there is always drugs & violence, you try not to become a product of your environment. Going to jail at the age of 19 when my song became popular on the radio was a struggle but I had to overcome it and lead by example for the next generation.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m an Entrepreneur & Rap artist from Atlanta, GA. I’m known for making music & helping the less fortunate in the community. Through different programs to feed and clothe the homeless & giving the younger generation a platform to express themselves through music & entertainment. What sets me apart from others is my Authenticity & Innovation. Audiences are drawn to genuine artists who are unafraid to express their unique perspectives. I strive for excellence and consistently push myself to improve. The pursuit of mastery can elevate your music and help you differentiate yourself in the industry.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
The community is general helped play a part in my success. Sometimes people that you don’t know can be your biggest supporters before the people you do know. By sharing and supporting my music and helping with the local events throughout Atlanta. And of course, my family. They are the biggest supporters no matter what I do, as long as I strive to make myself & the community better.
