Background[]
In January 2022, April Fooze attended WuChella and saw Liz Anya perform. The performance inspired April to make a return to the Los Santos music scene. April later contacted Liz and arranged a meeting to relearn the ropes of making music and learn more about the behind the scene work at Wu-Chang. April then asked Liz if they could collaborate on a song to which Liz happily agreed to. Within a month, the song; "SUGRBABY" was released and marked April's comeback to the Los Santos music scene. Shortly after the release of her comeback, April enlisted the help of long-time friend King Ryan to help her create more music. The duo, with the help of a Foozler (u/SamrockAran on REDDIT), then created April;s first solo song since August 2021. The song, titled; "If You're Broke I'm Busy", has since become one of the most popular songs in Los Santos music scene history and is one of four NP Diamond certifications that April has received. Shortly after the song release, King Ryan moved to Los Santos and has since become April's number-one collaborator.

[Intro]
Wu-Chang Records
[Verse 1]
Aye, it's Fooze on the track
Think it's best you respect
All the "oohs" I attract
Check the crest on my neck
Keep the crew on my back
Chang the set that I rep
See these hearts on my face?
That's all the love that you'll get
Whip the pink LFA
Just to let them know who's in it
But I gotta keep them guessin'
Roll with all my windows tinted
If you think Mr. K
Wouldn't push it to the limit
My credit never tested
All my bank rolls infinite
[Chorus]
I'm bout the money, money
And if the money is right
If you buy me everything
I want we'll be alright
And if you're broke I'm busy
And now you're not my type
I'll treat you like a local
If your card don't swipe
I'm bout the money, money
You'd better treat me nice
'Cause I can be your friend
Or I can be your vice
And if you're broke I'm busy
And now you're not my type
I'll treat you like a local
If your card don't swipe
[Verse 2]
Randington and Ramee
Kinda bug me, obvi
But I got 'em 'round my finger
Marty called me mommy
Ray and Autumn found the trigger
Maybe caught a body
Ring up Yuno, make it bigger
Or its not a party
Lucas sent me 40k
Eric sent me 50
All the boys in the city
Can't get enough of me
What do you think my time is free?
I'm working hard milking CG
Bitch I'm busy making money
Don't you wish that you were me
[Chorus]
I'm bout the money, money
And if the money is right
If you buy me everything
I want we'll be alright
And if you're broke I'm busy
And now you're not my type
I'll treat you like a local
If your card don't swipe
I'm bout the money, money
You'd better treat me nice
'Cause I can be your friend
Or I can be your vice
And if you're broke I'm busy
And now you're not my type
I'll treat you like a local
If your card don't swipe
