Payroll Giovanni & Cardo are a dynamic duo in the hip-hop scene known for their fluid melding of street narratives with smooth, West Coast-inspired production. Hailing from Detroit, Payroll Giovanni, whose real name is Dior Giovanni Petty, made his mark initially as a member of the Doughboyz Cashout, a crew that gained local acclaim for their vivid portrayal of inner-city life. His knack for storytelling, with an unflinching emphasis on the hustle and grind of street life, quickly distinguished him within the hip-hop community.

Cardo, born Ronald LaTour, is the producer half of the partnership, widely recognized for his laid-back beats that draw heavily from the G-funk tradition. He has etched his name into the industry working on hits for major artists such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Travis Scott. Together, they've crafted a signature sound that is both authentic to the streets of Detroit and broadly palatable to fans of classic rap aesthetics. Albums like "Big Bossin Vol. 2" and "Big Bossin Vol. 1.5," have solidified their position in the music world, offering a modern throwback to the days of luxurious beats and unapologetic street tales. Tracks like "Stack It, Stash It," and "Mail Long" showcase their duality - Giovanni with his vivid lyricism and Cardo with his impeccable, era-crossing production chops. Their combined force has continued to shape a unique lane in the rap game, as evidenced by their latest project, "Another Day Another Dollar," bringing forth the narrative of hustling with a synthesis of slick beats and sharp-witted lyricism.
