Biography

Following up their critically acclaimed 2020 collaborative project ‘21st Century Blues’, RBG rapper NE$$ (A-Alikes, Weekend Money) and UK producer baby J (Amy Winehouse, Skinny Man) return with "The Price of Bread", a groundbreaking concept album that dives deep into the lived experiences of oppressed communities navigating the harsh realities of capitalism.The term “the price of bread”, often referring to the state of inflation at any given time, is an ideal title for an album exploring these themes in a time when inflation is at the highest rate it’s been in decades. In true hip hop form the word “bread”, slang for money, transforms the title into a paradoxical double entendre “The Price of Money”. In this context, the album fearlessly poses a poignant question: "What is the cost of money, or to put it plainly, what does it cost us to make money, to navigate capitalism?" Through the prism of Black and Brown experiences, NE$$ and baby J lead us on an introspective journey into the true cost of living in a society governed by economic divisions. Doubling down on this concept, the album's tracklist is a veritable anthology of money-themed titles (Sell Our Pain, Human Capital, Stripper Money, For The Bag etc), each serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. The album flaunts an impressive tracklist; a carefully curated roster of guest appearances, with standout songs “Stripper Money” ( feat. Conway the Machine), "Vice Grip" (feat Houston's Fat Tony), among other gems.
