Before the end of 2022, Christmas came early for fans of Ray J, Sammie, Bobby V, and Pleasure P when the 2000s R&B stars surprised with news they had formed a supergroup known as RSVP (as we reported here).

The announcement was accompanied with a taste of their first collective musical offering ‘Money Everywhere.’

Nearly two months later, the tune – which serves as the lead single from their yet-titled, forthcoming album – has been given the video treatment with famed director Antonio Ward at the helm.

“Girl let’s turn this bedroom into a strip club / It’s money everywhere / There’s money everywhere,” they sing in the chorus.

Living up to its title, look inside to see ‘Money Everywhere.’
