The Moneyz (Unreleased Alternate Music Video)
Check out our unreleased LIVE ACTION music video for 'The Moneyz'
RA2 just turned 3, and we remembered that we had this weird video sitting in our vaults. So what gives? Oh man, “The Moneyz" video story. This is one for the books, and honestly, I thought it would never get out there.
WHAT’S WITH THE EXTRA VIDEO?
So here’s the deal. It’s early 2019, RA1 dropped a few months before, and things were starting to look up. We got this tiny but badass group of fans jamming to our stuff, and we're just churning out music and videos like nobody's business.
It was just the three of us, doing it all indie-style. But then, things started to get interesting. Some industry folks started sniffing around, including this one guy from LA who was all about our track "The Moneyz."
This guy, he sets up this massive video shoot in LA, and we’re like, "cool, lets do it." Me and Lubo head down there, but I gotta say, things started feeling a bit sketchy right off the bat. The shoot itself was looking pretty legit – I mean, the setups, the actors, the horse, the whole nine yards. But then, the crew starts getting antsy, hitting me up about money, and I’m there thinking, “Wait a minute, I already paid this guy for this whole video.”
I didn’t want to cause a scene while we were still there, so we wrapped up and headed back. But man, once I got home, my phone exploded. Messages from everyone involved in the shoot, all saying they hadn’t been paid. And our LA guy? Ghosted us. Total vanishing act.
Turns out, he was probably looking to make a quick buck off of us. Really opened my eyes to how you gotta watch your back in this industry. It's filled with people ready to play you. So, heads up to everyone out there: keep your money close and your contracts closer. Stay sharp!
