Money Badoo recently released her new album M$RYLUVSCMPNY with great success
Showcasing the Sound of a Nation
South African genre-defying artist Money Badoo is released her latest album, M$RYLUVSCMPNY, under our in-house label; Paradise Sound System. This project goes beyond just music—it’s a deeply personal journey of self-discovery, resilience, and transformation. With this release, she also launched an immersive live performance experience, created in collaboration with Bad Weather Productions, and supported by Concerts SA. The highly anticipated two-part tour took place on March 6th in Cape Town and March 7th in Johannesburg and set the stage for Money Badoo’s next chapter.
M$RYLUVSCMPNY: A Musical Alchemy
At its core, M$RYLUVSCMPNY is a sonic exploration of heartbreak, mental health struggles, and personal reinvention. Money Badoo, also known as ZAAK, blends alternative hip-hop, R&B, and experimental sounds to create an emotional and boundary-pushing body of work. Each track serves as a testament to her ability to transform pain into art, offering listeners an invitation to embrace their struggles and find light within the darkness.
Produced by some of South Africa’s top hip-hop talents—multi-award-winning pH Raw X, award-nominated MashBeatz, platinum-certified gTbeats, and the versatile NOTBENJAMIN—this album is a fusion of innovation and South African cultural vibrancy. The result? A project that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
