Continuing with a steady stream of releases, Eastern PA rapper/producer $toney delivers his next single, “Blow It.” $toney offers up some boisterous yet sedated verses for this catchy single, highlighted by a cryptic organ for the Scar produced track.

“Its just me elaborating on the sounds I tried to create with BRB but I also wanted to give it some different elements and some faster tempo stuff with some different flavor,” $toney said. 

Throwing in some nostalgia while calling out the clout chasers, once again $toney shows up on time for the fans. After working as an engineer for years behind the boards this uniquely charismatic rapper garnered the attention of ElevatorMag this past June with the release of his single, “BRB” which has now surpassed 150k plays on Spotify alone with 

“We got a lot of great feedback on BRB and I knew that people were going to love it. That was my first time doing a full rap record and I’m trying to step back into the rap aspect of things. It’s my biggest single yet and its over 150k, so we probably gonna be dropping that video in the next few weeks. The videographer that I have been working with has been doing great work lately. I really hope people like Blow It just as much”

From the fan favorites like “2 Phones” and “Counterfeit,” from his project Blood on My Heart to his newest singles like “Blow It” and “BRB,” you can hear the growth in $toney’s music as he continues to prove that he is far more than just and engineer with real bars as a rapper.

While Blood On My Heart was released in February, produced entirely by McCoy and was dedicated to Jimmy Wopo, fans of $toney can expect a full length project at some point in the next quarter. 

“I’m just trying to keep building up for the next six months to a year and build up as high as I can so that when I make moves of any sort I’m a foot ahead,” $toney explained about his plans for the future. “Next we got the BRB video and we are probably going to release a new EP before the end of the Summer, and definitely something else, but those are some of things I have planned before the end of the Summer.”

Pittsburgh’s $toney releases his new single “BRB”.  The uniquely bouncy record has an appeal all its own as $toney steps out from behind the boards after being an engineer/rapper for nearly 10 years.

From the fan favorites like “2 Phones” and “Counterfeit,” from his project Blood on My Heart to this new loose track “BRB,” $toney is proving his worth on the Pittsburgh rap scene and nationwide despite his humble beginnings.

“I really dig this record and it has a unique sound. In this industry you have to bring some type of uniqueness to the game and it still has that popular modern bounce to it, so I think it’s going to do really well with the fans,” $toney said.  “I think it’s just that good ride and smoke music. You can party to it, you can ride to it and it’s just good music that can get people hyped even though its chill.”

The track is the follow up to his project Blood On My Heart which was released in February, produced entirely by McCoy and was dedicated to Jimmy Wopo who $toney worked with frequently.

After the loss of Jimmy Wopo, his close friend, frequent collaborator and recently signed Taylor Gang artist, the Pittsburgh Hip-Hop community was in shock. $toney took the loss just as tough as anyone having spent many late nights in the studio with Wopo recording, engineering and perfecting their craft as he described in a Instagram tribute to his friend. 

“It was a dedication to Jimmy Wopo,”  $toney said of his album title Blood On My Heart, “I produced and engineered all the music that he was putting out and. Im just glad he made the impact that he did and that people are still listening to him.”

Having started his musical career while bored in class at the age of 15 , he began recording the raps on his phone and posting them online and he’s continued to grow and develop his craft recording and engineering at higher quality studios.

With a smoked out vibe and a riding quality that all great albums posses, $toney makes it clear that his mood music goes well beyond the speakers whether in the car or at home. Peep the visual above, and be sure to drop your thoughts in the comments.
