Marc Goone - 25 Bills
- Artist: Marc Goone
- Track: 25 Bills
- Producer: iLLJone$
- Album: I Am Not a Lobster, OK!
As Marc Goone made clear on mid-April's Chasing Rainbows, he isn't about to pass himself off as something he's not just to add a few zeros to his bank account. Which isn't to say that major-label cash holds no appeal for the St. Louis native. On follow-up single 25 Bills, he gets real about the myriad temptations he faces as an indie buzzmaker trying to make it in the game. After reflecting on the tendency of massively-hyped artists to stumble under the dual burden of corporate pressure and high public expectations, though, he reaffirms his commitment to doing things his way: “I've got crossover appeal, but I'll put a bullet in my head before I sign a deal.” iLLJone$ provides a guitar-laced instrumental backdrop for Marc's bars, and Justin Clough directs the joint's eerie official visuals.
