Weekend Money - Break Spinal (feat. WELL$ & Kool A.D)

"People out here losing they minds, using drugs like some kinda life raft when in reality it's only drowning us more. I haven't been to a therapist since I was a kid so like I said in our song Grace from the Freddie Merkury project "this shit is therapy" & not on no cliche rapper shit, mental health is a struggle for a lot of us out here. If it wasn't for these raps I'd probably be in an asylum. Enjoy.” 

- NE$$

Ay, mijo. This new joint from Weekend Money is something wicked. Comes in like Watch The Throne spliced with “Bohemian Rhapsody” over an okayfuture beat and doesn’t let go until you say “Tio.” Not trying to start any Afrojack beef, but this track would break the kneecaps off ”Look At Me Now” in a fight.

Just to catch you up, Weekend Money = MC/super hustler Ness (of A-Alikes fame) + producer/ladies man Baghdaddy &amp; have an EP called 'Naked City' in the works dropping in June ;)

Enigmatic Rapper/Producer Duo Weekend Money Preps Final LP 'Death of Pablo' for Black Friday Release; First Single 'Keys 2 The Gates' Just Dropped

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***     

(October 14th, 2016 - New York, NY)

    Since the release of their last full length project, the critically acclaimed  Freddie Merkury lp, Weekend Money members NE$$ & Bagh have been all over the place, literally and figuratively. Collectively they've toured throughout Australia, Asia, and the States, dropped a few singles including the underground burner Sriracha featuring rising stars Awkwafina & Rekstizzy, the dark & druggy Painkiller, and the remix to fan favorite Break Spinal from the Freddy Merkury project featuring Charlotte, NC MC WELL$ & former Das Racist MC Kool A.D.  
Individually both have been hella busy outside the confines of the W$ brand with NE$$ working on an upcoming solo project entitled citytrynaswallowme along with opening up an art gallery in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn earlier this year appropriately named World Money Gallery, while Bagh has been crafting an upcoming solo instrumental project where he dives head first into the future of the digital world and effectively creates what he calls "a 3D musical experience", learning code and at the same time producing tracks as a member of a SonyBMG Beat collective making beats for some of the biggest names in pop. 
     
     In the midst of those endeavors and the usual craziness that comes with being independent creatives hustling and surviving in Brooklyn, the trailblazing duo was steadily at work (losing their minds) in their infamous DUMBO, Brooklyn headquarters and recording studio Brickhaus, experimenting with sounds, concepts and production techniques putting pieces together for their latest opus entitled Death of Pablo; an album conceived during a poolside convo in Bali, Indonesia while on tour in 2015.  
     
     An appropriation of Kanye West's album title "The Life of Pablo" released earlier this year that initially started as a joke between NE$$ and Vice Art Editor Nick Gazin during the installing of his solo art exhibition "Hello Bad Mind" at World Money Gallery in June, the D.O.P. LP wrestles with 3 major themes, "mortality, indulgence & idol worship" says NE$$.
 
     The first single off the project 'Keys 2 The Gates', a murky neo-trap banger, is an introduction into a world where things aren't what they seem and as NE$$ raps in the song's opening verse "everybody's a rapper, an actor, a model or some kinda artist." 
Once again using New York City prominently as not only the backdrop but a central character in their narrative, Weekend Money bring us into a world halfway to heaven, halfway to hell, all the while following the money trail all the way up.  
Keys 2 The Gates available now on iTunes, Amazon, and all major outlets

While one is enjoyed with impunity and the other’s a Schedule II narcotic, Coke’N'Coffee share the physiological effects of increased alertness, energy and wakefulness. Which is to say, if you’re still sleeping on up-and-coming duo Weekend Money, you won’t be after a few sips/sniffs of what they’re offering on their first Booth feature. Making its world premiere right here on our front page, this freshly-released EP single finds Hot Sugar protégé Baghdaddy layering a lumbering bassline over heavily syncopated percussion as partner-in-rhyme Ness chronicles the journey that’s made him the major player he is today—from his beginnings, “right around the time Kanye and 50 was battling,” to his current position of power: “Bought a brand new car, I’m buyin’ clothes / Got a giant loft, f**kin’ all kind of hoes.” Poppin’ he may be, but satisfied he ain’t; as the Philly repper makes abundantly clear, he’s still very much on his grind. Does Coke’N'Coffee leave you fiending for more? Then be sure to cop Weekend Money’s Naked City EP when it hits the ‘net June 5. In the meantime, click here to peep the crew’s latest video, Insomniac. 

Coke'N'Coffee

(June 5th, 2012 - New York, NY) – Gearing up for the much anticipated release of their debut EP Naked City, New York City’s Weekend Money has released their third single “Yellow”. The ‘hood-backed psychedelic track, with its pounding bass, wailing sirens and addictive hand claps, finds producer Baghdaddy channeling his inner (albeit warped) Timbaland while quick-witted lyricist NE$$ (a member of the dead prez affiliated group A-Alikes) continues to give listeners a descriptive all-access pass to the two-fisted realities of NYC street life.

“Yellow” is the follow up to previous Naked City singles “Insomniac” which was originally featured on tastemaker site Okayplayer and “Coke’N’Coffee,” which premiered on the homepage of hip hop springboard DJBooth - earning the duo praise from the likes of VIBE, XXL, Prefix, 2dopeboyz, among others. Weekend Money’s patented genre blurring mix of hip hop and electronic music has already made them an act to watch and with the release of Naked City many more heads are sure to catch on. Don’t sleep.

NE$$ and Baghdaddy of Weekend Money lead off their long-awaited 3rd album, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” with new single, the sinister-synth banger “RNDRT”. The single follows a brief hiatus that allowed the duo time to work on personal projects such as Bagh’s 3D art installation: Escape to Guatemala and NE$$’ Brooklyn-based art space World Money Gallery. No strangers to the Brooklyn alternative hip hop scene, Weekend Money’s mix of rap & electronic music continues to push the envelope of hip hop’s ever evolving sound, garnering praise from the likes of Complex, DJ Booth, Vice & Fader to name a few. Pushing even further in this direction, RNDRT, a track whose beat was inspired by a night of club-hopping in Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong district during their last tour of Australia, HK & Bali, is contagious blend of underground hip hop, street swagger on a *spaced out beat that plays like the  diary of a NYC hustler revealing both the glamour & grime of the city. (*think “Blade Runner” meets “The Wire”)

In the process of creating music works you sometimes go through many dynamically different iterations... for the most part (bar instagram stories or snaps)we keep this process under wraps and just reveal the "finished product". this time we wanted to pull the curtain back retroactively and show a "version" of a track that became our 2016 release "Keys 2 The Gates". listening back to this version brings back many memories of late nights at Brickhaus wildin' out & figuring it out. let us know what you think ;-) enjoy!

“New York City is everything. We wouldn’t have made this project if we didn’t live here. There are so many people, personalities, stories, sounds, etcetera everywhere you turn,” explains Weekend Money lyricist Ne$$ of the theme behind their new EP Naked City, due out early fall. “The city is the muse for this project.

Weekend Money, compromised of aforementioned NYC/Philly MC Ne$$ (member of Dead Prez affiliated group A-Alikes) and Brooklyn by way of Iraq producer/vocalist Baghdaddy, aren’t the first to cite the city of New York as a major influence on their work. New York has it’s fair share of acts in a flourishing hip hop scene, but the duo are a perfect example of New York’s multicultural melting pot and their music is no different. Weekend Money’s debut EP, Naked City, is a contagious blend of underground hip hop, ‘hood street swagger and spaced out beats that play like a diary of a NYC hustler touching on his experiences and thoughts and revealing both the glamour and grime of the city.

“Naked City speaks to what we were going through while recording the EP. It’s about New York and our perceptions of it. If you line the tracks up by date of creation, they tell the story of our past year and the trials we went through - the hope, the pain, everything,” says Baghdaddy.

The duo first came together when a mutual friend introduced them at a party. At the time, NE$$ was working on a solo effort and was seeking producers for the project. Knowing that Baghdaddy had never produced for a rapper before, NE$$ was interested in hearing what he could bring to the table. The two began experimenting with different sounds and ideas eliminating samples from all production and using everything from Fisher Price xylophones to the sound of drumming on trees for beats. The recording process saw the duo learning from one another with NE$$ educating Baghdaddy on the history and elements of hip hop and Baghdaddy introducing the rapper to chord progressions, new production techniques and music theory.

The result is an album that’s much more than a mix of rap and electronic music, but rather a unique fusion of layered and complex sounds built on NE$$’ quick witted, street style in conjunction with genre-bending production aimed at taking the listener into a world that is as brazenly ambitious as it is stripped down. One has to look no further than the syrupy, reggae dancehall-tinged groove of “Coke ‘N’ Coffee,” with its head nod inducing chorus; the Timbaland-esque sirens and handclaps of the psychedelic “Yellow” or the sharp rhyme flow and trunk rattling violence of “Impala”.

Naked City’s first single—the two-fisted, synth-driven soundclash “Insomniac”—serves as the initial collaborative spark for the EP’s creation. “I remember asking Baghdaddy to play some beats he was already working on and one of them being this beat he named ‘Savage’ which really stood out,” NE$$ recalls. “I laid down a mumble track to it and took it home where I wrote the first verse and chorus to ‘Insomniac’. When I came back the next session and spit what I wrote, we both knew we needed to make a whole album together and the rest is history.”   

What may have at first seemed like an unlikely pairing, Weekend Money is an example of two passionate musicians coming together to grow and expand their artistic palette, mining their own sonic differences and tastes. Naked City serves as a glimpse into the life of a hustler but also sets the stage for a new burgeoning music scene - one that blurs genres and allows artists to move beyond any previous set boundaries.

“We just create and work toward making something special. I don’t think we’ve ever tried to sound like someone else and that’s reflected on the album,” explains Baghdaddy. “New York City took me in and I belong here. The whole music scene is wide open and we can make whatever we like.”
