Toxic Arts Studios and Choir Master get blunt about money on Don’t Ask Me For Money, a funny, upbeat Afro-fusion track for anyone tired of being treated like a bank. The title says it all, and it is made to be shouted back.
The song is about the stress of being the person everyone runs to when they need cash, whether it is a distant relative, a friend who only shows up in good times, or someone with a sudden “emergency.”
The lyrics are short and direct, in Pidgin English and street slang, with hooks the crowd can answer. There is no anger in it. The message is that saying no to money requests is a way to protect yourself and stay in control of your own pocket.
The beat is bouncy and easy to move to. A driving kick and a warm, pulsing bass set the groove right away, while sharp synth hits and crisp shakers keep the party going. Choir Master sings in a seasoned, charming voice with a catchy rhythm, and a blunt “no” turns into a chant you can sing in the club.
If you want a lively Afro-fusion track with a message everyone relates to, this one is for you. Download Don’t Ask Me For Money by Toxic Arts Studios ft Choir Master and play it for the friend who keeps asking.
