Fa$t Money is a Bronx/Harlem, New York City born rapper. While growing up a in the ever so violent neighborhood of 730 Garden St, Fa$t Money got his wake up call at a young age like most who grew up in the ghetto. Guns, Drugs and Prostitution is what he saw while most played with toys. The thing which separates this rapper from others is how he's never been stuck in one place for a long time. From the Bronx to Harlem to Maryland to Texas El Paso and even Germany this rapper has re-defined the word "Travel". Giving a title for his life's trips he calls it "Ghetto International Greener Pastures" as he feels he's one of the lucky few in life to have lived/experienced the Ghetto, Overseas and a Green Lawn.
Always being an excellent writer; poems, songs. Fa$t Money didn't begin to write rhymes until age 14. It started out as a hobby and two weeks later was a craft that this Bronx rapper took serious. His influences range from 2Pac to Jay-Z to Fabolous, Ludacris, Shyne and even Nelly. When asked why he put Nelly in his top influences Fa$t Money responds by saying "He makes great songs, you can't take that away from Nelly". Fa$t Money has been married to music since age 8 in which he would operate on his broken radio cords just to hear Notorious B.I.G. on Hot 97 back in the early 90s. Fa$t Money is one of the most versatile rappers you will come across. This rapper does not limit his ability, he is able to write and spit about anything. The reason it's easy is because this rapper has been through hell fire and brimstone in life and speaking the truth on beats is not difficult.

Young Core introduced Fa$t Money to many people who did music and or loved music. Core set up battles and studio sessions has he also began to shape and mold the rapper. One day, Fa$t Money was asked to rap in his High Schools hallway. He did just that and from that point on the rest was history. From street battles to studio sessions it seemed it all had begun to go upwards for rapper Fa$t Money. A memory which stands out is when a rapper "Gift" came to their school. The rapper was signed with Universal Records and he spit in the auditorium. Everyone who knew Fa$t Money rapped thought it would be a good idea if he battled the kid who was "SIGNED". Fa$t Money did that and ate the kid for breakfast, lunch and dinner... The kid he battled was never heard from again. The kids manager gave Fa$t Money a card to contact him but Fa$t Money never contacted the manager, things seemed fake from the jump.

It's been about two years since his first release and this rapper has grown so much lyrically, physically, mentally and spiritually.

If Fa$t Money were Ms. Cleo he would say "My hard work pays off". The fans want something new. Yes, the industry knows how to make money but they should also listen to the fans once in a while and take chances. Not every risk will turn out bad. Fa$t Money is now looking for a manager, guidance and an outlet to dish out his futuristic lyrics. He knows he can be a force to be reckoned with if given a chance in the music industry. He already has a fanbase which grows every week he also and continues to put comedic videos up for his You tube audience. From the hood and for the hood and been to many many other hoods, burbs, avenues, blocks... this rapper is not only book smart but street smart this rapper is not only a rapper but someone who knows how to mingle with blend in with anybody he comes across. They say the proof is in the pudding.
