Internet Money

A collective of producers, a record label, and a means of providing online music-making tutorials, Internet Money is the brainchild of Taz Taylor, a producer who got his feet wet in the industry by selling his beats online. Internet Money launched a knowledge-sharing YouTube channel in late 2016, and three years later started releasing tracks on its like-named label, including their own “Somebody,” produced by Taylor and partner Nick Mira. Their expansive debut full-length, B4 the Storm, arrived in 2020, and an EP titled We All We Got appeared in 2022.
Taylor, a native Floridian, established himself by selling his early beats online to support himself and his mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer. Once he made some headway, he signed a publishing deal, and in 2017 landed his first credits on commercially released tracks such as Desiigner’s “Liife,” Kodak Black’s “My Klik,” and XXXTENTACION’S “Fuck Love.” Taylor worked on the last of these three with emergent teenaged musician/producer Nick Mira, and the two were soon behind Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” and Lil Tecca’s “Ransom,” both of which became Top Ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Around the time the latter hit was taking off in 2019, the label side of Internet Money was officially launched with a Mira-assisted EP by Poorstacy. That October, the label issued “Somebody,” credited to Internet Money with Taylor and Mira the producers and Tecca and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie as the featured rappers. In 2020, the collective offered up B4 the Storm, featuring an array of artists including Future, Lil Tecca, the Kid LAROI, Swae Lee, and many more. A single, “JETSKI,” featuring Lil Mosey and Lil Tecca, followed in April 2021, with “Flossin’, featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again, arriving in 2022. The EP We All We Got was released later in the year. ~ Andy Kellman
