Internet Money enlisted the powerhouse duo of Roddy Ricch and Kodak Black for their first offering of the year, “I Remember.” Taz Taylor teased the single earlier this week before Roddy and Yak’s respective teams confirmed that the two have a monstrous collaboration on the way. Internet Money layer the rumbling 808-heavy production with performances from Roddy and Yak that reflect their come-ups and getting it out of the mud. Internet Money and Taz Taylor truly found a sweet spot for the two artists.
The elasticity in Roddy’s melodies adds urgency to the harsh realities that he faced in the streets on the Internet Money single. Meanwhile, Kodak Black holds it down with an autotune-laden performance that feels like something out of his back catalog. Produced by Dyryk, DJ Showtime, Nick Mira, Nash, Cxdy, E-Trou, and Taz Taylor, Internet Money brings out the best of the two artists on the record. Surprisingly, this only marks Roddy Ricch and Kodak Black’s second collaboration after previously joining forces with 21 Savage on “Hibachi.”
The Taz Taylor-founded collective continues to maintain and raise the high standard it delivered when it was formed in 2015. Over the past few years, Internet Money’s collaborations with the leading figures of the new school, such as Roddy Ricch and Kodak Black, have cemented their sound and birthed some historic moments in rap. “I Remember” in a tone-setting anthem and we’re certainly anticipating that they’ll have the summer on lock, once again.
Last year, Internet Money came through with the six-song EP, We All We Got. The effort brought Internet Money together with a handful of collaborators including Yeat, Lil Tecca, Ken Carson, Lucki, and Lil Yachty. Hopefully, “I Remember” leads the campaign for an official follow-up to 2020’s B4 The Storm.

[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]
I can tell you what I’ve done been through (Been through)
Now I done made my way back in the coupe
I ain’t tryna make it back in the news
I remember when the water bill was due
So fucked up, I’m sippin’ water with the juice
In the trenches, I was taught to kill and shoot
I just want a lot of water on my wrist, in the coupe
Banana clips, I got a .40 on my hip, came with the zoo
I was taught to get the money, so I started skippin’ school
[Verse 1: Roddy Ricch]
Took losses in my trenches, I can’t cry no more
All this pain inside my body, I can’t hide no more (Uh, uh)
Fucked up in my mind, a nigga been poppin’ Percocets
I’ve been sippin’ on this syrup, I ain’t tryna hurdle stretch
A lot of people pull me a lot of ways
Why you runnin’ after my Dallas bae?
Wanna hop inside the rocket, away
Tryna get these people out of my face
You ain’t even tryna know me, you just want my bag, lil’ nigga
I grew up in the trenches, with gorillas
Niggas know that I’m really from the ghetto
I told shorty “Get off me”, she tried to cross me
Told that bitch she lost me, lot of these niggas be salty
[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]
I can tell you what I’ve done been through (Been through)
Now I done made my way back in the coupe
I ain’t tryna make it back in the news
I remember when the water bill was due
So fucked up, I’m sippin’ water with the juice
In the trenches, I was taught to kill and shoot
I just want a lot of water on my wrist, in the coupe
Banana clips, I got a .40 on my hip, came with the zoo
I was taught to get the money, so I started skippin’ school
[Verse 2: Kodak Black]
Every Halloween, me and my zombies leave blood on the floor
I’m the zombie on Earth, I’m a ‘zo, I be on overseas hoes
They never know what they worth, I let a ghost on they curb
In the projects, I’m Malcolm X, I’m froze
Keep a few shooters at my shows, some with me, some out the door
Back, pour a face in the Rolls, stay outside, and I ride with big old five, ayy
Just in case we gotta blow somethin’ up, then slide in
Stay off the radar, but I’m on they grind
They found him later and marked it suicide
I’m robbin’ these out of town niggas, one thing, for sure
If they don’t die, they leavin’ Miami dead broke
[Chorus: Roddy Ricch]
I can tell you what I’ve done been through (Been through)
Now I done made my way back in the coupe
I ain’t tryna make it back in the news
I remember when the water bill was due
So fucked up, I’m sippin’ water with the juice
In the trenches, I was taught to kill and shoot
I just want a lot of water on my wrist, in the coupe
Banana clips, I got a .40 on my hip, came with the zoo
I was taught to get the money, so I started skippin’ school
