2012 song by Kendrick Lamar featuring Jay Rock
"Money Trees " is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar , taken from his major label debut studio album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City Black Hippy cohort, fellow American rapper Jay Rock , and was produced by DJ Dahi . It entered the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart at number 19 due to high downloads, following the album's release. The song, mixed by Top Dawg engineer Derek "MixedByAIi" Ali , features background vocals from American singer Anna Wise of Sonnymoon. Money Trees samples the Beach House song "Silver Soul", from their 2010 album Teen Dream Cartoon and Cereal " and interpolates lyrics from E-40's "Big Ballin' With My Homies ".
On June 2, 2015, Jay Rock released the sequel "Money Trees Deuce " as a solo record with no feature from Kendrick Lamar.
Background [ edit ]
"Money Trees" follows the storyline of Good Kid, M.A.A.D City Compton, California and reflecting on the immortalization of his uncle after he was shot. At the end of the track, Lamar's mom calls him again and asks him to bring her car back, a recurring theme of the story. His dad has forgotten about the pizza he wanted by now, suggesting that Lamar "has been out of the house for a while, driving around and trying to figure his life out, having just been attacked outside Sherane's house".[1]
Music video [ edit ]
On August 28, 2013, Taj Stansberry revealed that he had begun to shoot a music video with Lamar and Jay Rock for "Money Trees". Stansberry, who called the song his favorite song on the album, said upon getting the job to come up with a treatment for the video that was due in a day, he dropped everything right then, and created a website for the idea to present to Lamar. He added: "I started literally at 9 in the morning and finished at 9 at night".[2]
