Payroll Giovanni has returned with his newest release, “Have Money, Have Heart,” distributed through his BYLUG label in collaboration with Empire.
This time around, Payroll is delivering something unprecedented to his fans—an EP that offers a glimpse into his rawest essence. “For years, between albums, I would engage in studio sessions that I called ‘sparring’ or ‘working out,’ where I just rapped until the end of the beat without hooks, without overthinking. I rarely released any of those songs, but these latest ones I decided to compile into an EP,” Payroll explains.
I recently had a conversation with Payroll, diving into his latest album, life, and most importantly, delving into who Payroll truly is, in his unfiltered and authentic voice.
