Tkay Maidza's "M.O.B." came out in February 2015 and found a home on Switch Tape, and yes, the initials stand for "Money Over Bitches". Maidza, the singer-songwriter from Adelaide, gave the phrase a twist: the song is the present self talking to the future self about who to become, and the "bitches" are whatever gets in the way, from mental struggles to other people, all of it there to be outworked.
Beat Magazine heard a pop croon giving way to rapid-fire bars over grinding beats that edge toward dubstep, a track with barely a chorus but hooks everywhere, and OutInPerth called it a bouncy rap banger from an unstoppable 19-year-old. It went gold in Australia in 2017.
