In a landscape where many artists are chasing quick viral moments, iammoneymic is quietly building something more durable. The DMV-raised independent artist has spent the last few years carving out a specific lane defined by raw storytelling and a sound that fuses hip-hop with atmospheric textures. Now he is preparing for his next major chapter and looking to deliver his most cohesive vision yet.
The new era officially begins next month with the release of “blk jesus,” which serves as the first record from his anticipated project “Peace and Money.” Staying true to the identity he has been shaping since his 2018 debut “The Color Purple,” this new single looks to push his narrative skills further. It mixes symbolism and social commentary with the lyrical sharpness his fans expect.
This rollout isn’t starting from silence, however. iammoneymic recently dropped “the program,” a slow-burning hip-hop jam that captures a nostalgic feeling. It stands as a solitary record showcasing the hunger building behind his name. Although it won’t appear on “Peace and Money,” it acts as a powerful warm-up to remind listeners of the clarity behind his pen. A music video for the track is already shot and coming soon, which will give fans another look into his creative world while the audio lives on Spotify.
With winter approaching, another tradition returns to his lineup. This involves the annual push for “Santa clause where ya at,” his festive holiday track that first dropped last Christmas. Taking inspiration from the seasonal resurgence of classics like those from Mariah Carey, iammoneymic is turning the song into a yearly moment. It is a fun and growing part of his catalog that reappears every December, and in its second year of promotion, the track is becoming a holiday staple on its own terms.
While these releases carry their own flavor, they all orbit a bigger force on the horizon called “Peace and Money.” This project continues the artistic lineage he began with “The Color Purple” and evolved through both “Heartbreak and Money” and “Love and Money.” iammoneymic has become known for crafting concepts and emotional timelines rather than simple songs, reflecting life’s complexity and the contradictions that shape us.
“Peace and Money” represents a specific balance. It explores the tension between inner stillness and external ambition, what we fight for versus what we fight against, and survival alongside self-mastery. If his previous work is any indication, listeners can expect a body of music with depth and unmistakable cinematic energy.
With “blk jesus” arriving next month, a new video on the way, a holiday anthem returning to the spotlight, and a major project in the pipeline, iammoneymic enters 2026 with momentum. For an artist who treats every release like a film, this feels like the start of a franchise-defining moment that cements him as a significant voice in the independent scene. And yes, he asserts he is the best in the game, like Lebron James. Peace and money are coming, but first comes “blk jesus.”
