Maya B Drops Dreamer's Anthem "Dollar To A Diamond" (Video)

written by Maya B and produced with Soulshock (2Pac, Usher), "Dollar To A Diamond" fuels the flame to any dream. Preferably played at high volumes upon waking, the hypnotic track puts Maya B's genre-breaking talent on full display. When asked about "Dollar To A Diamond," Maya B states:

“This is a song I wrote when I was broke and couch-hopping just weeks before I signed with Capitol Records. ‘Dollar’ marks a moment in time for me—that moment of being hungry, but not wanting to borrow money or ask for food, because I was ashamed that I couldn’t take care of myself. I was laying on that couch using my creativity and dreams as fuel.”

“‘I just wanna be balling’ is not just some materialistic flex; it’s more of an outcry. It was me saying, ‘I just want this to be over,’ she says. “Behind our humility, there’s that voice screaming, ‘More! Bigger!’ All my life I’ve been told that voice is bad, cocky, even unrealistic. ‘Dollar To A Diamond’ is an ode to all dreams cocky and unrealistic."

Dope indeed. So, catch "Dollar To A Diamond" above and stay tuned for more from Maya B this summer.
