Wood Records Co. proudly announces the release of “I GET PAID,” the newest single from producer‑artist duo MattyInk & ash me outside. Arriving as Ink’s 17th official release, the track marks the duo’s first joint single since their breakout SUN TZU (REMIX), which made waves across the local live circuit and achieved milestone streaming success in the months following its debut.
A Satire of Wealth, Excess & the American Fantasy
“I GET PAID” is a sharp, comedic spoof of nouveau riche culture akin to the cheeky tone of Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop.” The track follows the exaggerated lifestyle of a young millionaire whose source of wealth is intentionally ambiguous. The character flaunts absurd luxuries, from using hundred‑dollar bills as sunshades to owning a private satellite dedicated solely to his cell service.
But beneath the humor lies a pointed cultural critique. As wages stagnate and economic pressure intensifies for everyday Americans, “I GET PAID” becomes a fantasy of rebellion — a tongue‑in‑cheek escape into a world where financial stress dissolves and indulgence becomes a pervasive ubiquity. The song’s opening sample, a feature of Gary Vaynerchuk lambasting America’s habit of complaining about money whilst overspending on disposable goods, sets the tone for the song’s ensuing satire.
A High‑Octane House‑Rap Fusion
Musically, “I GET PAID” pushes MattyInk and ash me outside into new territory. The track blends house‑driven four‑on‑the‑floor percussion with electronic rap textures, creating a high‑octane sound engineered for playlists, clubs, and algorithmic discovery alike. The production is intentionally bold featuring a gritty, maximalist backdrop for Ink’s spitfire delivery and ash me outside’s kinetic soundscape.
The duo’s chemistry is unmistakable. Ink’s performance oscillates between swagger and self‑parody, delivering lines that lampoon hyper‑consumerism while still embracing the fun of lavish fantasy. The hook centers around the repeated declaration of getting paid, ultimately becoming both a celebration and a critique which mirrors the contradictions of modern wealth culture.
Lyrical World‑Building with a Wink
Throughout the track, MattyInk paints a vivid portrait of exaggerated luxury: oversized cribs, international jet‑setting, dripping jewelry, and a lifestyle that defies logic. The irony deepens as the verses unfold, contrasting the protagonist’s elaborate spending with the reality that many listeners face — a world where financial strain is the norm, not the exception.
Ink’s writing leans into comedic hyperbole, using repetition, shock value and over‑the‑top imagery to highlight the absurdity of chasing status through material goods. The result is a track that’s as entertaining as it is socially aware.
A Strategic Step Forward
“I GET PAID” arrives as a calculated next move for MattyInk & ash me outside. Structurally and strategically designed to outperform their previous release, the single is built for reach through its tightly engineered blend of humor, energy and genre‑bending production that positions the duo for continued growth.
The record’s infectious beat and humorous flow, “I GET PAID” stands as a bold new entry in MattyInk’s ever-evolving catalog. It showcases his ability to blend entertainment with insight introducing a fresh collaborative dynamic with ash me outside.
