Critical Praise:

“5 under-the-radar rappers from Memphis you should know about…Kenny Muney stands as the city’s rap emissary.” – The FADER

“Kenny’s standout skill is his sense of timing and rhythm. The rapper can do nearly any style or flow out there.” – XXL

The Album:

Kenny Muney‘s locked-in, bass-heavy bangers are equally suited to the whip or headphones. Coming through with an expansion to his most accomplished effort to date, Kenny shares Blue Muney (Deluxe). The new edition adds eight new songs to the Paper Route Empire rapper’s recent album, each adding a new flavor to Kenny’s trap sound. “AOGG” mixes Kenny’s low-talking flexes with Tay Keith‘s flute-flavored thump, the titanic “Walkin’” samples an old school Memphis classic, and “Mrs. Muney” affirms Kenny’s commitment to his one true love: cold hard cash. The South Memphis native takes a moment to process his feelings on the poingnant “After That.” Home to “Ramen Noodles Digital Scales,” released as a video earlier this week, Blue Muney (Deluxe) is available everywhere via Paper Route Empire.

The follow-up to last year’s Time Is Muney, Blue Muney finds Kenny locking into trunk-rattling instrumentals with surgical precision, packing more flexes into his rapidfire triplets than one can count. Released in April, the tape is home to fiery singles like the guitar-driven “Top,” the soulful intro “Muney Prayer,” and the Hitkidd-produced “In A Rush.” Featuring additional production from Bandplay and more, with guest appearances from his PRE brother Key Glock, Money Man, Ceo Jizzle, and KATO2X, Blue Muney is available everywhere via Paper Route Empire. Kenny Muney recently wrapped up his supporting role on Key Glock’s sold out “The Glockoma Tour.”

With Blue Muney (Deluxe), Kenny Muney shows that he has the talent and determination to succeed in the Empire-building business. Stay tuned for more from Kenny Muney and Paper Route Empire.

Background:

A native of South Memphis, Kenny Muney grew up idolizing rappers like Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, and Boosie. He started rapping at age 15, developing his aggressive aesthetic and honing his deeply rhythmic flow. Kenny got his first brush with fame when he released “YTN Freestyle,” which racked up over 2.5 million YouTube views, made him a neighborhood hero, and earned airplay on local radio. He made noise in 2019 with Muney Talk, his first mixtape for PRE. In 2020, Kenny Muney connected with his mentor Young Dolph for “No Regrets,” a highlight track from Dolph’s Rich Slave (Deluxe) album. “I’m never satisfied,” says Kenny Muney. “It’s a gift and a curse. I’m always looking for the next step.”
