From the moment the bass hits on Matry’s most recent single “Shmoney,” it’s clear this is the sound of an artist stepping fully into their zone. The first single from the greatly awaited EP "XODUST", “Shmoney” is clear bars, with a flashy, high-octane mix of heavy trap energy and top-shelf UK rap swag.
“Shmoney” gets started like a statement piece. The beat snaps with purpose, sharp hi-hats, resonate 808s, and a bounce that has gotta make you move. Matry rides the rhythm with a natural swagger, his bars float as easily as they hit every beat, and every flow rotation is perfectly measured. It’s not just a track, it’s more of a flair, a beat. What sets “Shmoney” apart, however, is its jokester bounce and tight, up-to-the-moment blend. It’s a dynamic creation that coordinates Matry’s vocal timbre, intense without being overpowering, slick yet jittery. This is the kind of song you realize has been written for the club and the automobile sound system, the type you find yourself playing just for a moment, so you may hear that hitting again.
Matry’s “Shmoney” isn’t just a single, it’s a proclamation of intent, a confident prediction of things to come on "XODUST". If this is the opening, the remainder of the effort will be nothing short of dynamite.
