Indie Singer-songwriter Lizz Pens a Song for Healing in Latest Single ‘There’s A Place’

Los Angeles, California-based hip-hop duo theplastiQs have released their latest single, “Money Talk,” inviting listeners to dance along.

TheplastiQs are Baby Quan (BBYQUAN) and Queen (It’z QUEEN). “We are two Aries that are carving a path for ourselves in the music world. We’re leaving a mark for our audience and our people,” they share.

Both artists came into music in recent years, bonding over their shared love of the craft and the synergy that transpired.

“We started in my living room playing around. We created our first song, ‘Cosmo,’ and knew we had to go get a studio session. It started with four of us—the Ghetto Rich Babies, GRB—but that didn’t work out. Two of us were taking it seriously. We bounce off each other. So, we turned into theplastiQs.” (And yes, that’s a reference to the original Mean Girls.)

Queen is a young artist, new to the world of music. With a fanbase of 1.6 million followers on TikTok, Queen hopes to pave the way for the trans community to put itself out there—while simultaneously growing as an individual.

“I also make sure that others like me are comfortable with themselves and able to speak,” adds Queen.

According to Queen, “I never thought I’d be a rapper or that people would take me serious. When you’re two people, you’re not by yourself. We just got together and started making really good music.”

Baby Quan began as a TikTok influencer before pursuing a career in music. With 1.7 million followers, Baby Quan shares comedy, cheerleading, and travels on social media.

“The music crew is new to me,” shares the artist. “I’m excited for this career.”

Of their larger-than-life personas, theplastiQs want people to know that “it’s about being pretty girl, a bad girl—a baddie.”

Their music is informed by life experiences and has taken shape since they first got started.

“We want people to relate to our story,” share theplastiQs. “We’re just having a conversation with each other. Now we’re ready and know what we want to do. This is the beginning of being able to be comfortable with our voices and sound and how we want to speak.”

TheplastiQs’ new single, “Money Talk” is about “getting money—and if you’re not talking about money, then there’s nothing to talk about.” The delivery is bold, in your face. It’s about sending a message and having a good time, reflecting theplastiQs’ goal to connect and entertain with listeners.

TheplastiQs dub “Money Talk” as a universal song. From the playful opening to the full drop, the attention-grabbing single unfolds into a club hit. Before they go into the studio, theplastiQs prepare their lyrics and have a beat ready to go. “Money Talk,” like many of their songs, took the shape of a collaborative back and forth between the duo.

The rap song joins theplastiQs’ diverse portfolio of sound.

“We’re working on other songs that are calmer and all types of genres. We want to make music for everybody—grandmas, kids, everyone.”

The duo relies on their producer to help take their music across genres and styles. At the end of the day, their approach to life is a lesson meant to be shared.

“Always work hard on what you put your craft into. Never give up and always be on top of your game. Don’t go 10%—go 110%.”

TheplastiQs also enjoy bringing their energy to the main stage. From Miami to Los Angeles, the powerhouse duo takes pride in entertaining live audiences.

“Feeling the excitement from the crowd. Hearing their cheers and how they know the words … In the studio, you work on your craft to show people. It’s really cool how it works out. Performing is great because you get to see their reactions,” explain theplastiQs.

TheplastiQs are excited to share their music with listeners, including the single “PlastiQ Barbie,” now available. “We have more singles coming out. We want everyone to be able to dance to them,” they add. “Our music is for clubs. We’re also paving the way for our community because it’s hard out there.”
