Young Thug, Nicki Minaj, And Juice WRLD Team Up For “Money”

Fresh off the heels of Young Thug’s new album, fans were treated to a deluxe edition by Metro Boomin at midnight (June 27). Titled BUSINESS IS BUSINESS (Metro’s Version), it boasts two bonus tracks that elevate the 17-song offering.

One of the added songs is a high-profile collaboration featuring Nicki Minaj and the late Juice WRLD titled “Money.” Meanwhile, Charlie Heat offers additional production.

As expected, “Money” showcases the dynamic synergy of the trio. It’s a confident track where each artist’s unique flows meet in a delightful mélange of braggadocio and power. Nicki’s verse is particularly striking as she flexes her lyrical prowess and her unabashed flamboyance.

“Lettin’ him get up in it when he came home. After a long bid, you know that sex game strong. Headed to the grip, baby, hang on. Ding-dong got that Alexander Wang on. Wait, free Thug,” she raps. Later, the Queen of Rap references her $20 million mansion in the Hidden Hills, “They wonder what I gross like, my name was Lance. It’s Barbie, bitch, just dropped like twenty mil’ on Barbie Land.”

The other bonus song, “Sake of My Kids,” is a previously unreleased record that dates back to 2016. Produced by Wheezy, Thug namedrops everyone from JAY-Z to Diddy and Marilyn Manson, coupling it with a stark warning aimed at those who question his sexuality.

“I’m popping these Percs like they Aspirins. When you think I’m gay, think of caskets. Damn, I had to cry first ’cause I’m laughing. Put that dough on your purses,” he raps in the song’s second verse.

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS dropped last Friday (June 23) amid Young Thug’s ongoing RICO trial, which implicates his YSL collective as a criminal street gang behind a series of violent crimes in Atlanta. While the charges hang over his head, Thug’s work continues to resonate with his audience despite his year-long incarceration.

The album’s original iteration includes contributions from several artists, including Drake, Future, 21 Savage, Lil Gotit, Yak Gotti, Travis Scott, BSlime, and Fun.’s Nate Ruess. You can now stream BUSINESS IS BUSINESS (Metro’s Version) in its entirety below.
