"The Future of [music] in NYC" -The Culture of Me
"[Old Money's sound] kinda sux" -My!Gay!Husband!
"Old Money isn't just rapping, they're playing with beats more complex and influenced than anything we're hearing right now...Throwing in some grime, hip hop, baile funk, afrobeat, even dancehall riddims, whisking them together and garnishing with their saucy vocals, "yeah baby I'm the man..." Old Money is seriously a dish best served loud." -Ecoutez!
"Their sound is something you’ve never heard before...A myriad of percussion from electric beats to African drum rhythms, a pulsating bass, intelligent transitions, and verbal skills to tie it all together–this is Old Money." -String Magazine
Just saying what up. SAw you guys in the URB Next 100 and saw Shawn in the audience of Brave New Voices. Good to see you guys are doing your thing. I'm helping set up a bi-weekly hip hop showcase in Bethlehem. Think y'all would want to do a show in the future?
