Scrooge McBucks – If You Wit It
Louisiana rapper Scrooge McBucks drops
sexy new R&B single ‘If You Wit It’
SHREVEPORT, LA – Ra El Bey is one of those rare people who can eat as much as they want and never get fat. And he was stingy, so this was the source of an inside joke for his friends growing up, and led to him earning the nickname Scrooge.
Scrooge is also passionate about music. It has surrounded him his entire life and as he’s grown in confidence and skill, the music of his life has become more than just something he listens to for motivation. Now, he makes music that inspires others. And as he has pursued that dream, he decided to add to his nickname and adopt the stage name Scrooge McBucks.
His most recent offering to the world is a single called “If You Wit It.” The song is a slower, R&B-driven track that he describes as a “dating song that’s kind of sexual.”
“It’s almost one of those songs you’d play when you’re having intercourse,” he said. “It’s a slow song that is all about talking to a girl that you want to date. It’s very R&B heavy which is a little unusual for me because I’m not really an R&B artist. But if I can do a song that females would like, I think it will help draw me a nice little crowd.”
Scrooge said he hopes this song will showcase his unique sound and style and introduce more people to his archive of music. Over the years, he has been compared to Boosie, though he assures people that he has his own niche and unique combination of sound and language.
“I can do rap or trap or hip-hop or R&B,” he said. “All my lyrics are old-school rap. I started rapping early in life when I met some guys who put me in a studio and taught me how to do it right. I’ve been serious about it ever since.”
His first interest in music began while singing in the school choir class as a child. He said music has always felt good to his soul and that has stayed with him throughout the years – even during a period of time when he found himself distracted by the streets and the lifestyle that comes with that. He got the opportunity to record his first song on a friend’s label and after moving to Shreveport, Louisiana from North Carolina, he began to record his own music. Over the past three years, he’s had the opportunity to perform in places such as The Josh Lounge Club, Club Haze and Shreveport Club Only in Monroe. He also recently completed a four-state tour through Atlanta, Florida, Colorado and Alabama.
“I’m pretty much a stand-up guy,” he said. “I’m writing about stuff I’ve seen and been through, and I’m really just trying to be honest and truthful. I don’t want to be negative all the time. I just want to be positive and truthful as much as I can.”

Mumu describes “My Why” as “a tribute to that person(s), place, or thing in your life that is your “WHY”. Your reason not to give up. Your reason to keep trying and to push a little harder than you thought you could. You why reminds you of what you’re made of and brings out the best in you.” The Healing drops April 19.

Santa Sallet X Nemizzo (MSP) – “Big Hands”
DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet and France-based producer Nemizzo are MSP, presenting their new single “Big Hands”. Sallet has been busy showcasing his brand of East Coast braggadocious rap across a slew of recent singles like “Camouflage” (watch on Youtube), “I Get Money” (watch on Youtube), “Championship Ring” (watch on Youtube) and “Chinese Funk” (watch on Youtube) in preparation for the release of Plutography, Sallet’s forthcoming album which blends salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples, reflecting Sallet’s international upbringing across South Africa, Dominica and the US. Sallet is planning a series of full-length releases, among them C.R.E.A.M. which recounts his journey from broke to financially free, and Women and R.A.P. which describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry respectively. “This is the song that really started MSP Tunes,” Santa says. “Nemizzo had laid down his verse and I was like, let me try something on this and I just talked about what I knew. What I think is funny, the outro is actually me recording a bunch of potential beat tags. There was a miscommunication and Nemizzo extended the beat and made it the outro. I like it though lol.” Check out Santa Sallet merch here.
