Richmond, VA’s $ilkMoney releases his new album Who Waters the Wilting Giving Tree As soon as the Leaves Dry Up and the Fruits No Longer Bear? by way of Lex Information. Throughout 15 tracks co-produced by $ilk himself and frequent collaborator Kahlil Blu, with contributions from Mutant Academy producer Sycho Sid, $ilk explores the fact that giving oneself to one thing isn’t all the time reciprocal.
Talking in regards to the album’s thematic inspiration, $ilk says, “Whether or not you give your all to your kids or your ardour or your goals or to a relationship or no matter it’s, we simply gotta notice that lots of what we give ourselves to don’t actually owe us something to start with.”
The album is a potent artifact of $ilkMoney’s irreverent humor and his refusal to adapt, placing collectively a file that intertwines his signature depth and debauchery with insightful parables about his personal relationship to the trade and what he’s given to his craft. In typical $ilk style, each phrase, line and tune title is delivered with intent, whether or not up entrance and in your face, or hidden slightly below the floor. The album rewards repeat listens to unpack a few of the metaphors he’s embedded into the album, like a criticism of the rise of digital minstrelsy and adverse depictions of Black individuals within the media, a focused takedown of the rich elite class and complicit rap stars, and even turning his gaze inward to interrogate his personal relationship to rap as a profession.
$ilkMoney first emerged onto the scene as a teenage rap phenom with unforgettable tracks like “P.Sherman (PS42WW$)” and “My Potna Dem”. Within the time since, he’s solidified a sound that’s singularly intense, debaucherous and impeccably exact with a group of critically acclaimed tasks together with his most up-to-date 2022 full-length I Don’t Give a F**ok About This Rap Shit, Imma Simply Drop Till I Don’t Really feel Like It Anymore. The rapper has made a number of choose visitor appearances since his final full size, on Noname’s Sundial alongside billy woods, on Pink Siifu & Fly Anakin’s beloved FlySiifu’s and most not too long ago showing on two tracks on Fly Anakin’s (The) Without end Dream.
