World Tour Mafia’s Finest Emcee Makes Us An Offer He Can’t Refuse, Preparing His Second Project of the Year
Critical Praise:
“Collaborations between DaeMoney and Babyface Ray have the kind of consistent excellence you could set your watch to — as long as it’s a Rolex, or better.” – The FADER
“…with his sharp storytelling and lethargic flow, DaeMoney seems likely to secure a spot in hip-hop’s most competitive scene.” – Pitchfork
The Video:
With a narcotic flow that couches some of his city’s cleverest punchlines, DaeMoney is Detroit’s next to blow. Armed with co-signs from the likes of Babyface Ray, Veeze, and LUCKI, the World Tour Mafia rapper prepares to release The Godson, his second project of the year. Following up the candy-colored Rockstar Lifestyle 2 mixtape, DaeMoney returns to his mafioso roots with The Godson, bringing street lessons and pop culture punchlines in equal measure. The tape is home to recent singles “F*CK SLAE” and “King of the Hill.“ The Godson releases on October 25th via EMPIRE.
Along with the official announcement of the project, DaeMoney recruits BabyTron for “SNOTBALL,” a single and music video from the album. Packing as many punchlines as possible in the song’s short runtime, the two rappers display a crackling chemistry, as they duel atop tolling bells and speaker-bursting Michigan drums. The music video finds the two rappers attempting to one-up another with their outlandish flexes: “I’m in the snow droppin’ players up like I’m St. Nick,” intones DaeMoney, while BabyTron adds, “Every day I wake up and thank God I’m not y’all.”
DaeMoney is one of the most promising artists in a bustling Michigan rap scene. As a member of World Tour Mafia, along with associates Scoob, Milt, Money Miles, and Solid, Dae put an insular spin on the Detroit sound, keeping the hard-hitting drums and slick punchlines, while adding a narcotic flow and incorporating dark sonics to better suit a head-nodding headphones experience. After emerging in the rap scene in 2020 with the first Slae Season tape, produced in full by Detroit sound architect Top$ide, Dae reconnected with his father, and through him, met Babyface Ray, who Dae was surprised to find was his blood uncle. Since then, Dae and Ray have been frequent collaborators, earning praise from The FADER for their “consistent excellence.” Dae’s heady style earned him co-signs from kindred spirits like Veeze and LUCKI, who joined him on his cult hit, “Gta” in 2021. He further burnished his reputation in his city with his Slae Season series of mixtapes, including Slae Season 3, featuring “Who Is That” ft. LUCKI, Veeze & Babyface Ray, which has nearly 10 million streams on Spotify.
Earlier this year, DaeMoney shared Rockstar Lifestyle 2, a mixtape which earned positive notices from The FADER. In contrast to the darker hued Slae Season tapes, Rockstar Lifestyle 2 is more celebratory and aspirational, with brighter beats and a wider complement of guests. LUCKI, Veeze, and Babyface Ray return for guest spots (the latter on local hit “Earned It“), while Dae also welcomes Karrahbooo and BabyTron for fun-loving team-ups.
With The Godson, DaeMoney stakes his claim, anointing himself as a kingpin of Detroit’s new generation. Stay tuned for much more.
