One of the most sophisticated producers in modern trap, Tahj Money centers most of his production around naturalistic guitar and piano sounds. Their soulful interjections lend the South Carolina producer’s beats a cinematic scope and feeling of world-weariness. Most of the rappers he charted hits with—NBA Youngboy, Polo G, Rod Wave—use mournful melodies to communicate raw street anecdotes, and Tahj’s blues-infected harmonies serve to enhance the drama.
