Kenny Muney Announces ‘Time is Muney’ Project, Drops “Petro” Video
Handpicked by Young Dolph, who recognized his humble attitude and an bottomless arsenal of too-tough bars, KennyMuney has the goods to be Paper Route Empire’s next breakout star. Standing up for South Memphis in a way that would make his mentor proud, Muney announces Time is Muney, his new 16-track project. The new album provides a slew of simmering trap slappers for Kenny to sink his teeth into–he has a knack for rhyming with a trance-like intensity, while somehow maintaining his sly grin. Following in the wake of “Role Model,” a moving tribute track from Paper Route Empire’s recent compilation album Paper Route Empire Presents: Long Live Dolph, Muney steps into the spotlight of his own making with his new project, showcasing his inimitable, raw talent. Featuring appearances from fellow PRE rappers Key Glock and BigMoochie Grape, plus an additional guest spot from Chicago’s Dreezy, Time is Muney arrives on February11th via Paper Route Empire.
Along with the Time is Muney announcement, Kenny Muney shares the video for “Petro,” a standout from the project for its bouncy baseline and glossy guitar loops over which he delivers infectious flows. In line with the track’s title, the video shows Kenny on the clock at a Chevron station, putting the triple entendre of the gas he’s dealing with on display. Whether it’s the gas he’s pumping, pushing, or spitting, Kenny Muney assures listeners, “I don’t sell lies, I don’t sell dreams, b****, I sell Petro.” “Petro” quickly follows “Role Model,” which has over 1.6 million views in 9 days of release, and arrives in the wake of “Backend Freestyle” (424k views), the first video from Time is Muney, which dropped in November.
In the run up to Time is Muney, the follow-up to 2019’s Muney Talk, the Paper Route Empire signee kept himself busy in 2021 by releasing multiple singles, including “Lowkey,” “For Kenny,” “Long Time Coming,” and “Poppin It.” This past July, Paper Route Empire released their first ever collaborative mixtape, PAPER ROUTE iLLUMINATi, which heavily featured Young Dolph, Key Glock, and Kenny Muney among other label members.
With Time is Muney, Kenny Muney shows that he has the talent and determination to succeed in the Empire-building business.

Since the beginning of the year, CT talent Byrd StayLow has been teasing his “Dying 4 More” album with a string of singles and videos. That included “No Company,” “Down Bad,” “Trayvon” featuring JayRock Jax and T. Foreign, and the most recent, “Bad Habits.”
All four records were a perfect preview of what fans can expect from the new LP. Luckily they don’t have to anticipate any more, as “Dying 4 More” has officially been released across all major streaming platforms.
Serving as his newest effort in two years, following up “Trust The Vibes” from 2022, “Dying 4 More” comes laced with 12 songs and is certainly Byrd’s most introspective album to date. Although Byrd has delivered three visuals from the project already, fans are hoping he has at least one more in the vault coming.
Until then, be sure to continue streaming “Dying 4 More” on your preferred DSP and follow Byrd StayLow on Instagram for constant updates.
Following collaborations with the late Fatman Scoop, P-Lo, and LaRussell on top of a strong co-sign from Bootleg Kev among other key industries figures, Bay Area native Miles Minnick (TW/IG) connects with San Diego’s Jon Keith (TW/IG) for a West Coast rap anthem titled “HIM.” Produced by Jon, who signed with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkin’s Alienz Alive label over the Summer and left a lasting impression after scorching his On The Radar freestyle, the collaboration serves as the first look into what fans can expect from their forthcoming WEST INDIES project.
“For us, we want to make something of substance that has the sound of the culture that birthed us. West Coast culture. The song represents the boldness we get from knowing that Big G will slide on our behalf regardless of the situation,” said Minnick when asked about the pair’s new release.
“We wanted to make a song that brought believers together but also unified the whole West Coast. We love our state and really want to see God move through California,” echoes Keith in a press statement about the single.
With his Closer To The Water project on the horizon, Florida-based talent TJ Carroll enlists instrumentalist okaywarren and I Project for a new 2-Pack single experience spearheaded by title track “Road Trip.” The latter of the pair boldly named “Just Say That,” was produced by WHEREISDAVINCI and comes equipped with a Dolby Atmos digital stamp of approval.
“I wrote this song from a place of wanting to get out of my city and see something different. Sometimes I get tired of seeing the same things repeatedly. God made a beautiful world, and I want to see it,” says TJ about the inspiration behind the record in a press statement.
