The video was directed by Zac Dov Wiesel and filmed in New York City. Says Rodney, "To The Money is a record that I wanted to make for anyone trying to make their dreams happen. Whether you have two dollars in your wallet or $2,000. No matter what place you are in life, we all are just trying to get "To The Money."

The EP is the first release of a 4-part series that will drop throughout 2022 with each volume featuring "To The Money" and "Famous." GHETTO POP STAR Vol.1 follows the release of his debut EP QUEER PRESSURE in 2020 which accummulated over 300,000 streams on all music platforms independently and was featured on Paper Magazine, Fader, Afropunk, and more.

"Being inspired by artists like Missy Elliot and Frank Ocean, my music mixes sounds from the early 2000's with innovative embellishments of what Rodney Chrome hears as the future of music," says Chrome. As a dancer, a lot of my music is inspired by the idea that my sound will influence listeners to get up and move in some form or fashion."
