The unrefined adrenaline of CBF Hollywood in Money 2 Get just catches hold of you. The Tarpon Springs native provides a hustlers anthem with that kind of believability that only comes with actually being one- twenty years of grinding in the studio, stacking tracks, loss and frustration all given to this catchy trap banger that just refuses to give up.
The beat is cutting and contemporary and the production is crisp, allowing the flow to be felt by Hollywood. That particular Floradian energy he is known to have is present in his delivery, a feel that is not common in that market, a blend of new trap flows and actual lyrical content. You hear the influences of Master P, Bone Thugs and Trick Daddy infused into his style but he has created something of his own.
The thing that impresses me most is the authenticity that is woven through all bars. It does not sound like fabricated pomp; it is the voice of a person who has spent two decades of their life in devotion to a worthless goal, lost companions, and yet, due to the person’s only desire to achieve something, they succeeds in doing it. Such determination is relatable, and the song sounds inspiring instead of the typical materialistic one.
The hook itself is catchy enough, the one that gets into your head and you nod your head before you even notice it. Hollywood has this fine talent of delivering feel-good music with hefty content and weight and that is what he wants to be as the owner of CBF Records.
The trendy sound and unsurpassed lyricism that has made Hollywood formidable force in the industry are on display in “Money 2 Get”. It is dynamic, creative, and compels you to take his version of the storey since it is the truth that can be read between the lines. It is hip-hop with hustle in its DNA- proper, authentic.
