FastMoney RK is a rapper based in British Columbia. He is quickly making a name for himself in the Canadian music scene. Here is an interview we did with him catching up on his career and future projects.
What inspired you to create a single that pays tribute to an artist’s fast-paced lifestyle?
This single is about pushing forward through hard times and being present in the moment you’re in at any given time. It was inspired by the happy-go-lucky, blindly optimistic nature that I carry through life.
Who handled the production and beat for your single, “Throttle”? Did you have a say in how the sonics should sound or did another producer pre-make this beat for you?
I honestly just searched a Travis Scott-type beat on YouTube & this one caught my ear… I’ve attempted to get in contact with the original producer but they have since disappeared & the beat is no longer online. As far as the mixing, my good friend Denton Milton at 2track Entertainment is responsible for the recording and final sound of the track.
What was the overall shooting process like for your music video, “Throttle”? Did a team accompany you to help execute your vision?
Jarett Lopez at Team Grow, a prominent marketing and brand building firm in Vancouver, really helped bring my vision to life. He and his team were present for the majority of the planning/shooting process and the final video product captured the eccentric and colorful vibe felt in the song.
How does “Throttle” fit into the overall 10-track album, ‘Roses are Red, Hundreds are Blue’? Does the project capture a similar vibe as the single?
Throttle should be viewed as the climax of my album! You can really feel the songs leading up to Throttle build the suspense in anticipation for this track as the project finally comes to a close. All 10 of the songs are cohesive with the same melodic, bouncy-808 sound.
What’s next for you?
Next, I will be taking it back to my roots. I plan to release a project detailing my childhood growing up in Surrey— a more “hood” area on the outskirts of Vancouver; along with videos and a specific style of music native to Detroit but widely appreciated among the youth and culture in Surrey.
