Layyah - Money Moves (Single)

Introduced as the UK’s Missy Elliott, innovative, versatile, and a leader for women in music, South London artist Layyah is steadily carving her own lane with fearless originality. Blending Grime, Rap and R&B, she looks to make waves with her latest single ‘Money Moves’, the follow-up to ‘Passenger Side’, released earlier in the summer.

A bold, hip-hop-infused anthem with Layyah’s trademark cinematic edge, it’s both unapologetic and deeply relatable. With rhythm and flow that carry her independent flair, the track explores love, financial freedom, and resilience, making it as much a groove-heavy summer soundtrack as it is an empowering statement.

Layyah explains, “Money Moves is a song about the ideal lifestyle of a couple getting their money. They make their own money individually, but they are in it together. This is what I’m manifesting for myself.”

Hailing from South London, Layyah Franks-Davies, creatively known as Layyah, is a defiant singer, rapper and songwriter with an innate passion for sharp lyricism, effortless flows and a commanding presence. Starting her artistic career at ELAM College, Layyah leant into her African heritage whilst producing a sound that is unmistakably from the streets of the UK. She made waves as the first female contestant to win the BBC’s The Rap Game UK in 2024 and has since gone on to release two singles and a freestyle, amassing millions of streams, views and impressions across the internet. Looking to make her mark in 2025, Layyah continues to shine with her unwavering drive, undeniable talent for grounding, and empowering message.
