Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, the singjay explained "Basically, the need , the want for money, not just for myself, but for other people. You realize that a prayer start up, or a Psalm start off where mi a mek it be known my intentions, when mi get my money. But I also incorporate what other people do for money, some go hustle, some go sell out themselves, so its basically the never ending chase for money. All when you feel like yuh have enough money, you still always want more money." - Radix O.D

Honing his craft by becoming a prolific writer, in 2016 Radix O.D recorded his first song titled "
One Chance" under the moniker "O.D.", the latter received positive feedback which in turns resulted into ghostwriting for various established artists. Trodding on his musical journey, the versatile Radix released a few more singles, and armed with confidence, he took to the stage. "In 2018 I was one of the winners of the Redstripe "Big Buss" Competition where I got the opportunity to perform on the Sumfest main stage that year. Towards the ending of 2019 I changed my name from O.D. to Radix OD because of a shift in mentality with the content of music as I look to effect a more positive change." - Radix O.D
