Single: Internet Money – “I Remember” ft. Roddy Ricch & Kodak Black
The Artist-Producer Collective, Founded by Taz Taylor, Returns With Their Star-Studded First Single of the Year
Critical Praise:
“[Internet Money] grew into a music industry powerhouse that helped break stars like Juice WRLD and Lil Tecca, racking up dozens of Billboard hits and platinum plaques in the process.” – Complex
“The group of beatmakers is dominating music-streaming services” – Billboard
“It seems only inevitable that these guys are just going to continue to take the world by storm, one hit at a time.” – MTV
“Even if you aren’t familiar with L.A. production collective Internet Money, you’ve heard their beats. The group’s sounds have powered some of hip-hop’s biggest records in the past couple years, from Rich the Kid’s “Plug Walk” and Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” to Drake’s “Blue Tint.” The group is helmed by Taz Taylor, a Florida native who — true to his collective’s name — has accumulated a fortune primarily through the internet.” – The FADER
The Song:
The premier force in hip-hop production over the past decade, Internet Money and Taz Taylor have defined the sound of the digital age. Recruiting two A-Listers to reminisce about times good and bad, the plaque-stacking artist-producer collective shares “I Remember,” their first new single of the year. The new song features the vocal talents of Roddy Ricch and Kodak Black, the former providing a soaring hook about hard lessons learned in the trenches. Produced by Dyryk, DJ Showtime, Nick Mira, Nash, Cxdy, E-Trou, and Taz Taylor, “I Remember” glistens with the high fidelity for which Internet Money is known, layering rippling piano with atmospheric electric keys and trunk-rattling 808s. Together, the army of IM producers provide Kodak and Roddy with a downtempo, radio-ready anthem equally fit for a mosh pit or smoke sesh.
“I Remember” is Internet Money’s first song of 2023 as a lead artist–the opening salvo in what’s shaping up to be another banner year. Last year, Internet Money shined a spotlight on some of the underground’s most exciting artists on the We All We Got EP. The tape featured star turns from the likes of Yeat, Lucki, Ken Carson, and Destroy Lonely, alongside songs with frequent Internet Money collaborators Lil Tecca and Lil Yachty. Internet Money charted on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Flossin,” their luxurious collaboration with YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Since the EP’s August release, Internet Money has remained in the charts, with credits on certified records like Lil Uzi Vert’s top ten Billboard smash “Just Wanna Rock,” Drake & 21 Savage’s “BackOutsideBoyz,” Destroy Lonely’s “NOSTYLIST” and “NEVEREVER,” Ken Carson & SoFaygo’s “HELL YEA,” and many more.
Since its formation in 2015, Internet Money has been an elite tastemaking and hitmaking faction with tremendous influence in the rap game. The collective scored one of the biggest rap hits of the decade so far with “Lemonade” ft. Gunna, Don Toliver & NAV, recently certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA and still racking up millions of streams per week, and followed it up with the GOLD certified “His & Hers,” a sparkling collab with Don Toliver, Gunna, and Lil Uzi Vert. Taz Taylor earned a reputation as one of the industry’s elite developers of talent, discovering and nurturing chart-breaking talents like Juice WRLD, Lil Tecca, iann dior, and many others. Taylor is the CEO of Internet Money Records, a joint venture with 10K Projects, which is developing the next generation of rap superstars. The Internet Money Records roster includes promising youngsters like the melodic master Dro Kenji, rising Georgia trap star Rot Ken, and the newest signee, Rich Amiri, whose recent single “Poppin” ft. Lil Tecca has over 1 million streams in just three weeks.
With much more music on the way, Internet Money looks to expand their empire even further in 2023. Stay tuned for many more announcements.

The Background:
Internet Money Background:
Starting as a type-beat factory and growing into a global powerhouse, Taz Taylor and Internet Money have earned 3 Grammy nominations, 58 platinum plaques, 33 gold, and 14 Billboard #1 hits since 2018. The collective is behind some of the biggest rap and R&B hits of the past few years, including Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” (1.3 billion Spotify streams), Trevor Daniel’s “Falling” (#1 Billboard Mainstream Pop, 37 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 with #17 peak), Lil Tecca’s “Ransom” (700 million Spotify streams, #4 Hot 100), and XXXTentacion’s “Fuck Love” ft. Trippie Redd (the most-played song in SoundCloud history). With 2020’s B4 The Storm album, and its double-platinum single “Lemonade” ft. Gunna, Don Toliver & NAV, Taz Taylor and Internet Money confirmed their status as the music industry’s most powerful hitmaking collective.
Internet Money was born out of necessity, a hybrid company that has filled in the gaps between the rap industry, the producer community, and the online marketplace. Disillusioned with the industry, and the way he saw rap producers being taken advantage of, Taz Taylor formed the collective in 2016 as a way to share the knowledge he’d gained from years spent selling his “type beats” online and navigating the internet’s ever-growing impact on the production landscape.
Four years in, Internet Money has expanded as a collective, including Grammy-nominated producers like Nick Mira and JR Hitmaker, and produced for Drake, Trippie Redd, Juice WRLD, and many more. “When you’re in Internet Money, you get the same opportunities that I do, you’re gonna be working with the same artists that I’m working with, and getting credits with them,” Taylor says. “Instead of working with a bunch of people we don’t know, we just have our own network that’s one big family.” Following their success breaking major artists like Trevor Daniel, and co-producing his multi-platinum hit “Falling,” Taylor and Internet Money partnered with Elliot Grange’s 10K Projects in 2019 to launch their own label.
Taz Taylor Background:
Taz Taylor has never cared about fame or clout. To hear the multi-platinum producer and Internet Money founder tell it, everything he’s done — from turning his online production hustle selling “type beats” into a $500,000 per year business to forming his own label — has been born out of necessity and guided by intuition. “I’ve been so tunnel vision during the last five years to make sure I got to this point,” he says. “It was just like, Let’s keep building.”
Though Taylor has only been in the industry for a few years, his accomplishments in that time have come at a staggering pace, notching, by his estimation, over 500 placements and around 200 gold and platinum plaques between himself and the other producers on his Internet Money team. As their leader, Taylor has quickly become a new sort of rap mogul, one who’s built his steadily growing empire from a deep knowledge of the ways music moves online, and he’s done it all from the humblest of beginnings.
