Hip Hop X Finance with Drew Boyer

From Beats to Bankrolls: The Real Talk on Money Moves

In this episode, we’re dropping bars with Drew Boyer, the financial planner who went from drummer to money maestro. He’s breaking down the game on how hip hop’s flashiest stars and regular folks alike can learn the rules of the money game—before they end up broke, busted, and disgusted.

Drew’s 20+ years in financial planning and his love for music collide in his new book, Hip Hop X Finance. He’s using the lessons from 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and Ice Cube to school us on financial literacy, debt traps, and stacking paper the smart way.
