Blo-Money is an emerging independent hip-hop artist who made his solo professional recording debut in 2021 with the single “In My Bag”. That track introduced a skilled emcee from Detroit with a hard style and a verbose flow. He has released a dozen singles and connected with hip-hop fans around the world with popular tracks like “Amazon Prime ” and “State Lines”, and he entered the new year with 2 hit videos “Woke Up 2 A Play Pt 2” &“Hoop Dreams”. Now Blo-Money has teamed up with fellow Detroit producer RJ Lamont, for a hard-hitting new EP.
Imma Leave This Here is the brand new EP from Blo-Money, released worldwide via all major streaming services on July 14, 2023. The five-song collection is a showcase for the Motor City emcee’s hard-driving lyrical style. The record pairs classic 808 beats and dark cinematic moods with real-life tales of money, women, and life on the streets of his legendary hometown.
The record opens with the ominous minor-key synths and drill freestyle of “WYGK”. Blo-money has a deep and commanding delivery. His powerful vocal performance adds even more weight to his hard rhymes on tracks like “Bitter Hoes”, which also features an impressive freestyle from guest rapper DombeCoolin.
“1 OF THOSE” is an infectious rap anthem with a cinematic production. It works as a nice transition point on the record, as “FUK ON” takes it to the bedroom. Blo-Money and guest rapper LeeLuu trade steamy verses over a hip-hop beat and some classic soul vibes. The record closes with the single “Boyyy Wud U”. Blo-Money drops a braggadocio rap as percussive piano arpeggios ride a funky uptempo 808 beat.

Los Angeles, CA - In a recent interview, rising rapper Rob Ertz opened up about the inspiration behind his latest single "Rude Awakening" and how he collaborated with Dazasta Tha Great to bring the track to life.
According to Rob Ertz, "Rude Awakening" was inspired by his own personal experiences and frustrations. "The inspiration behind Rude Awakening was just to let everybody know that they're in a rude awakening thinking they gone play with me. Straight up. I been through too much and came a long way with this shit so now it's time to put some respect on my name."
He went on to explain that the collaboration with Dazasta Tha Great came about organically. "I sent it to him in hopes he'd get on the record. I knew he was an artist that had a lot to get off his chest and would take the record to the next level, and he did just that."
Rob Ertz also shared some insight into his creative process, saying that he uses his music as an outlet to vent and express himself. "I just had to vent for a second, I'm dealing with a lot at the time trying to pursue rap on the come up but rap ain't paying the bills & the woman I was dealing with at the time wasn't alleviating the stress & just causing me a headache so before I let you sink the ship I gotta let you go now I got 'em by the boat load."
Describing the overall sound and style of "Rude Awakening," Rob Ertz said that it's similar to some of his previous tracks like "In The Zone" and "No Major Deal" in that he's telling listeners about the problems he's faced and what he had to go through to get where he is now.
When asked what message or emotions he hopes listeners take away from the track, Rob Ertz said, "The message I want my fans to take from this is to keep pushing through it all no matter who hating, whoever doubting you, and all the other bullshit getting thrown your way. They're expecting you to fail so prove them wrong."
Looking ahead, Rob Ertz teased some upcoming projects and collaborations that fans can look forward to. "To all my fans I'm finally releasing Big Tyme and you can expect to hear more music from me and Dazasta for sure. We might just drop a tape together."
As for his long-term goals, Rob Ertz said that he hopes to break into the mainstream side of rap and achieve success on a national level. "I'm on the come up right now but I'm working on breaking into the mainstream side of rap. Just staying consistent & applying pressure daily."
For aspiring artists trying to establish themselves in the music industry, Rob Ertz offered some simple but powerful advice: "Don't give a f*ck about what anybody has to say. Block out all the negativity, if it's not about helping you evolve or getting to a bag then it's in the way. Believe in you."
Through his music, Rob Ertz hopes to contribute to larger conversations and movements in society. "I feel like my music will help balance the rap genre, showing you ain't gotta beef & tear down the next man to come up when y'all got the same mission & goals.

Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticise or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed.
I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head.
When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus.
These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between.
My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished.
My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world.
The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war.
For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person.
I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought.
Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours.

"Hi Ren" keeps growing, reaching #18 in trending music videos in the UK, with over 5M listens in the first week alone.
