“Money Trees” by Kendrick Lamar

"Money Trees" sits fifth on good kid, m.A.A.d city, Kendrick Lamar's 2012 major-label debut, and it drifts along on a sample of Beach House's 2010 song "Silver Soul", with Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally sharing the writing credit alongside Lamar, DJ Dahi and Jay Rock. DJ Dahi produced it, and Lamar also borrows vocals from his own "Cartoon and Cereal" and works in lines from E-40's "Big Ballin' With My Homies".

Jay Rock, his Black Hippy running mate, drops in as the guest, and Anna Wise of Sonnymoon sings in the background. Top Dawg engineer Derek Ali recorded and mixed it, with Dr. Dre and Anthony Tiffith as executive producers. Downloads after the album came out pushed it onto the Bubbling Under Hot 100 at 19, and in 2015 Jay Rock went back for a solo sequel, "Money Trees Deuce".
