A romantic outing for Earn and Van is ruined by a series of obstacles in Atlanta Season 2 episode 3, "Money Bag Shawty." The standout song is "Marsupial Superstars" by SahBabii Feat T3, but there's a few more newer artists featured. Here's everything we heard.
Paper Boi's single is a hit and the boys are celebrating to "Mfn Right" (Remix) by 2 Chainz Feat. Lil Wayne. This is the first time we catch up with Van, who is upset that her friend got VIP tickets to a Beyonce concert knowing she can't afford it. "Czech One" by King Krule plays while Van vents to Earn. We also hear "Grey Luh" by berhana in background during the top half of the episode.
Clark County asks Paper Boi to collab at the studio, but Paper Boi can't get in the zone. The kid doesn't smoke or drink. Paper Boi is a little jealous Clark landed the Fast and Furious soundtrack deal, but reveals he actually passed on a chip commercial offer.
Earn tries to surprise Van with VIP tickets to Beyonce, but the cashier won't take an $100 bill. The cashier then gives him an extremely hard time, requring to make copies of Earn's drivers license and credit card. They are forced remove themselves from the situation, but the night doesn't get any beter. They hit up a hookah spot where the bouncer hits Earn with an aggressive pat-down and unnecessary cover, then the manager accuses him of using a fake $100 bill. Somewhere in here we hear Miguel Fresco's "Above Ground."
Earn and Van have to go to the police station where Earn learns the bill was definitely real and the police didn't do anything because the owner was trippin. The crew decides to head to the strip club instead and we hear a few of the last year's popular songs: "Rake It Up" by Yo Gotti Feat. Nicki Minaj, "I Get The Bag" by Gucci Mane Feat. Migos and "Prblms" by 6LACK.
"Marsupial Superstars" by SahBabii Feat. T3 ends the episode. Check back next week for all the songs in "Helen" and see all the songs in Season 2 so far below.
