Music: The War Gaad’s Hustle: Tuggawar Strikes Gold with "It’s About Money"

Tuggawar (born Neofytos Neofytou) is an international dancehall and hip-hop artist hailing from Hackney, London. With a compelling background as the son of Greek and Irish parents, he has carved out a unique space in the UK music scene by blending authentic Jamaican dancehall influences with gritty London rap. Known as the "War Gaad" or the "Viral King," Tuggawar’s reputation is built on his sharp "clashing" style and a notorious backstory that includes time spent in Jamaica’s Spanish Town prison—an experience that solidified his street credibility and deepened his connection to reggae culture. Today, he operates as a fiercely independent artist under his own label, Tugg Movements."

"It’s About Money" serves as a high-energy anthem that defines Tuggawar’s latest musical era. The track is a quintessential fusion of UK Drill and traditional Dancehall, featuring the heavy basslines and rapid-fire delivery that his fans have come to expect.

Thematic Focus: As the title suggests, the song dives deep into the realities of the hustle, the pursuit of financial stability, and the social pressures of urban life. It follows in the footsteps of his previous social commentary tracks like "Cost of Living Crisis," using raw, unfiltered lyricism to discuss the necessity of wealth in a challenging economy. The track is both a celebration of success and a gritty reflection on the sacrifices made to achieve it.

Composition: The song is characterized by its propulsive rhythm and infectious "Swing Foot" energy. Tuggawar utilizes his signature vocal tone—a blend of London grit and yardie-inspired patois—to create a track that is as much a club banger as it is a street-level manifesto.
