Money Man

Background

Tysen Jay Bolding is a unique American rapper with the reputation of being the first American rapper to get paid via Bitcoin. Well, they don’t call him “Money Man” for nothing. He was born into a middle-class family on February 27, 1986, in the Bronx, New York. When he turned two, his family moved to Atlanta. He is of African-American descent and a Pisces. His interest in music was born during his childhood, and he even began creating his rhymes at age seven.

He has released several mixtapes, albums, and singles with reputable acts in his niche. However, his trajectory to success only became more visible in 2016 after he released ‘Boss Up’ and ‘How It Feel.’ He also released his “Black Circle” mixtape trilogy the same year — one in January, another one in September, and the last one in November. Due to the success of these mixtapes and his singles, he signed with two record labels in 2017 — Cash Money Records and Republic Records. After releasing three mixtapes, he ended his contract in 2018.

By 2018, he released his Billboard 200 charting mixtape, “Paranoia.” In 2020, he released the “Epidemic” and “State of Emergency” mixtapes. The single ’24,’ released on the “Epidemic” mixtape became double platinum-certified by R.I.A.A. that same year. In total, he has released 20 mixtapes and has multiple features with reputable acts such as Lil Baby, Money Bagg Yo, and many others.
