Who is Payroll Giovanni?

If you don’t know anything else about Payroll Giovanni, know that he almost never takes a day off. The 29-year-old rapper has dropped two mixtapes and a film within the last year. He’s the leader and face of Doughboyz Cashout, the most popular rap collective out of Detroit that’s been well respected in the community since its inception in 2006. He’s recently worked with producers such as Cardo, one of Wiz Khalifa’s frequent collaborators who is responsible for a number of beats on his Kush and OJ project, and Helluva, a premier producer that’s well-known in Detroit for his unique sound.
Suffice to say, Payroll Giovanni is one of a kind.
Bio:
Payroll Giovanni was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He grew up with a hustler’s mentality, accumulating profits through street activities that he prefers not to talk about. He attended Southfield High School where he created the group Doughboyz Cashout with some of his friends and associates. As the leader of the group, he oversaw many of the decisions that they made in the industry. They released their first mixtape We Run The City in 2007 and received rave reviews. People loved the group for their bleak, realistic, and unflinching look at street life.
The group continued to expand, as did Giovanni’s role in it. Over the next five years, the group would drop five projects. They grew in influence and power in the city of Detroit. Although they were first contacted by rapper T.I. who noticed the group’s growing stardom, the collective joined Young Jeezy’s CTE (Corporate Thuggin Entertainment) in 2013. While the group worked on music that was released on the CTE compilation project Boss Ya Life Up Gang, they ultimately wouldn’t stay long because of less than ideal business practices, as Giovanni revealed in a recent interview with HipHopDX. It’s around this time that Giovanni began to put more work into his solo efforts, releasing Get Money Stay Humble that same year. Two years later, he released his critically acclaimed project Stack Season which charted on Billboard without very much promotion. Since then he’s been on a roll; dropping Sosa Dreamz in 2016, and most recently, Payface this year.
Standouts:
One of Payroll Giovanni’s most recent anthems, “This Is How We Move It,” featuring B. Ryan is the song of the summer. It flips Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” which was one of the biggest songs in hip hop in 1995. While Jordan talks about partying on his record, Giovanni brings the hard-hitting street therapy that he’s known for, told through the sing-songy guise that enables it to be digested easily. It sounds amazing through a great set of car speakers. Easily one of the best tracks of the year due to how easily it fits with Jordan’s pre established record.

Afrobeats record producer and artist Lancky Cresco releases “All This”

Multifaceted Nigerian-American artist and record producer Lancky Cresco today shares a brand new single titled, “All This.”
The talented artist renowned for his cross-genre sound palette of Hip Hop, R&B & Afrobeats strikes again with this cathartic record that has him wear his heart on his sleeve. “All This,” is a creative blend of sounds and melodies that incorporates various elements into it – making for a dynamic work of art that sets the tone for who Cresco is.
Combining strummed guitars, haunting background cacophony, rhythmic shakers, among a raft of sounds, this Lancky cut, like the majority of his works, is sticky with emotion, grosses a fullness about it, and has an almost heartbroken texture. Subject matter wise, Lancky is in a lamentation state of an ex-lover as he combs through different feelings to share this powerful record. The track is a well-rounded effort of pain.
“Looking at the world around us we have all this beauty, we need to take time to appreciate it,” Lanky Cresco says.
Lancky, who has made a name for himself for managing to bridge traditional influences of music with a modern approach, follows this song after his earlier releases “DONGOYARO” & “Super Glue.”
“Helping people is what is making me dedicate my life to music,” he says. “I believe music can change the world, and I want to contribute my music to uplift people, changing the world one step at a time.”
His bombastic vibes are clear for everyone to vibe to on “All This.” He has previously stated his music “is medicine for good mind and body” and this recipe is again reinstated on his latest single.
He started making music from an early age while he was in elementary school in Nigeria before joining the choir to further his prowess on the drums. With a profound background in music, he has now developed his craft into a full-throttle music production craftsman and mix engineer that conjures savory sounds that exude feel-good vibrations. He is also a singer by design and can stir up different inflections and melodies to deliver meaningful messages through song.

How did you land such prominent hip-hop clients? I landed my clients by building my relationships with people. As well, through networking within the entertainment industry. When you’re transparent with your intentions, opportunities present themselves.
What made you get into fashion? I got into fashion through my grandmother. She had a sewing machine and would create my Halloween costumes when I was a child. Her creative influence inspired me immensely. Once I unearthed my vast zeal for fashion I realized her influence carried me through my adulthood.

How was it working with the legend FatMan Scoop? Working with Fatman Scoop was an amazing experience. Fatman scoop is an icon that I watched in my youth. It made me reflect on my childhood. It was a full circle moment for me to dress someone that created roots within the hip-hop community.
