Mateo Sun - Money Affairs (Video)
Mateo is one of the city's juggernauts MC's; when he comes stomping through which you know he means business. His lyricism bullies the listeners & competition alike into submission till we're on our knees, begging for forgiveness for either crossing him or sleeping on him. Maybe questioning his skills as a lyricist as every fickle fan seems to do, but nope, nothing questionable about Big Sun; you need the Sun & the Sun is big & he provides you with everything you need.
With the subtle announcement of his upcoming "Next Sunday" EP, Mateo drops off the lead single "Money Affairs" & its classic Sun. Braggadociously ferocious & unapologetically in your face, Sun drops easily memorable Quotables, referencing things like Motorola beepers, rope chains & Queen Latifah. He's deep-rooted in this culture, in this Hip Hop scene. Still, his lyricism lets you know that he'll never be generous enough to hit you in the face with a wad of cash but generous enough to punch you in the face lyrically to prevent it from happening to you in the future hopefully. Don't disrespect thinking your bars can hold a candle to his; one melting is the only drip you'll be left with once Sun comes barging through your stomping grounds. Greeted with a warmer welcome than you ever have & you reside there, you're just not as fly & not as about your paper like Sun.
"You ain't hard, thinking you gangsta over that misdemeanor," & even then, this hard ass bar is delivered with an almost sorry for you tonality in his flow but cause he may feel sorry for you doesn't mean he's going to go easy on you. Some of you frauds need to learn your lesson cause once the Sun comes beaming down on you, you know damn well you won't keep that same energy, cause you know, at least I hope you do.
