The song “Keep Gettin’ Money” from Mitchy Slick and Sir Veterano is a lean and heavy-slappin’ cut that offers up some cautionary lessons about the impact of money and fame on relationships. Lifted from their recent collabo album, Everybody Hates Mitch, this G-funk tinted track shines a light on Mitchy’s signature Cali accent and point-blank flow over Veterano‘s thumping drums, wavy synthfunk bassline, and rich analogue leads and keys.
The lyrics dive into the nature of success and its bittersweet nature, highlighting how the bright spotlight of fame can cast a shadow of disdain from those on the sidelines. As Mitchy Slick recounts his beginnings in the rap game and his current status as a respected veteran, he sketches out the art of maneuvering among smile-in-your-face skeptics and hatin’ hangers-on. The melodic and super catchy chorus – “Lie on you / Don’t even know you / Speaking up on you / That’s what they gonna do when you gettin’ money” – points out the double-edged sword of success but does it with such a feel-good bounce that it doesn’t bring down the magnetic mood that Mitch and Veterano bring to the table.
In director Niko Alexzander‘s video for the track, we cut back and forth between scenes of Mitchy casually posted up outside of a corner store as police lights flicker nearby and shots of the San Diego emcee dishing out verses inside a low-lit safehouse overflowing with cash and gold. The clear-cut visuals mirror the song’s unmistakable message – success breeds envy, so stay focused.
In every way, “Keep Gettin’ Money” makes its mark, with its no-pretense mix of Mitchy Slick‘s 100-proof rhymes and Sir Veterano‘s deep-rooted G-funk sound. If you’re new to the duo’s work, this song is a dope introduction to what their true-to-life partnership has to offer. Combining savvy street talk and bumpin’ production, “Keep Gettin’ Money” is what happens when two artists with a unified vision let loose in the studio.
