‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’ is the hotly anticipated follow up to 2019’s ‘Third Avenue'; on his new album, Fredo explores deeper themes of managing the fame and wealth accrued in the wake of his last album’s success.

“I want to apologise for the wait,” Fredo said, in a statement on his new album. “I had a whole different style album that didn’t really mean anything to me. Meanwhile a lot was going on in life that I was angry and confused about. I really thought that once you have money you can’t not be happy inside even if stuff’s going on but it’s not like that. I felt like the project I was working on before was me but doesn’t really explain me.

“I don’t want people thinking that certain things I rap about are important or the key of life because they’re not. Most things I rap about are just what I been through or reality for me and my friends,” he added.

Despite the wait between albums, Fredo has been far from idle during the last two years. 2020 saw the Queen’s Park rapper feature on numerous different tracks, including Mist’s ‘House Party’, K-Trap’s ‘Hot There’ and Young T & Bugsey’s ‘Bully Beef’. Fredo himself released a handful of singles, but most notably starred on GRM Daily’s Daily Duppy freestyle YouTube show; his performance became the most viewed Daily Duppy performance of 2020 with 15.6 million Youtube views by the end of the year.
