At the age of 13, Michael Anthony Bostinto started writing songs and started his first band Très Bien in 2002, spending two years cultivating the group’s craft under Rob Stevenson’s artist development program at The Island Def Jam Music Group. Michael disbanded the group in 2010 and established himself as a successful grower of high quality cannabis. He was living the dream. Eventually Michael stopped writing songs, then the legalization of cannabis turned his company on its head. He fell into a deep depression that affected every relationship in his life, especially that of the childhood sweetheart whom he married. After many years the marriage sadly fell apart, and Michael was lost. It was there where he got invited by Randy Michael and Wesley Flowers to come to Atlanta and record his first solo album, and so he did.
Rollingchild masterfully weaves contradicting feelings of confusion, excitement, depression and inspiration in his music while channeling a unique combination of soulful 90’s hip hop, rock n roll and garage rock elements. This ends up imprinting on the sounds of The Last Shadow Puppets, Blood, Sweat & Tears and early era Fitz and The Tantrums.
Today we’re thrilled to premiere the video for his track “My Money (Grows On Trees)” – streaming below! The song has a smooth vibe and an addicting hook, and the video perfectly matches the vibe. It looks like it was a damn fun video to shoot.
In his own words:
My Money (Grows On Trees) – I wrote this song when I first moved out to California in 2011. The song is clearly about growing and selling weed which is exactly what I was doing at the time. It was just a fun song I thought my fellow growers would like, and when Randy heard the demo he wanted to cut the track then! It wasn’t until I eventually came to Atlanta in 2018 where Randy convinced me to let him produce and record the track for the album, and it’s a BANGER!
The video was directed by VideoRahim in Atlanta, GA and shot in 1 day. I didn’t want to be too obvious with the video concept, so Randy suggested a Goodfellas, Mean Streets, type of aesthetic/mixed with a rap video which is what we went with. Theres tons of cash being thrown around in the video and everyone is celebrating what looks to have been a successful heist (think Luthfhansa heist) or I just have an endless supply of cash because…well….”my money grows on trees”
