The release of “Money” follows the success of his bold and reflective track “Lazy Youth,” which sparked conversations about the struggles and stereotypes surrounding young Nigerians. This time, however, Tolex shifts from critique to celebration — honoring those who grind daily and reminding fans of the joy that comes with financial breakthrough.
> “I’ve seen how systems abroad reward hard work, but in Nigeria, even with all the obstacles, we must still find ways to celebrate our wins,” Tolex shares. “Money is more than a song — it’s an anthem of hope, resilience, and enjoyment.”
With pulsating beats, catchy hooks, and lyrics that resonate, “Money” delivers both a party atmosphere and a message of inspiration. Its chorus — “After money, it’s still going to be money” — speaks to the unending drive for progress and fulfillment.
As Tolex prepares for a series of live performances this festive season, he’s also rolling out stunning visuals and digital promotions for “Money” across all major streaming platforms. Fans can expect a sonic and visual feast that not only entertains but uplifts — a true embodiment of the Nigerian dream.
In an industry overflowing with talent, Tolex sets himself apart by staying true to his roots while embracing evolution. With “Money,” he offers more than just a hit — he delivers a cultural moment.
