Chicago’s own Megastar (Steven Ragsdale) launches into 2025 with unstoppable momentum, delivering Loud Money Gang — a hard-hitting compilation that shines a light on the rawest voices under his label. Released on January 24, 2025, the project is a showcase of street anthems, sharp lyricism, and no-filter storytelling—all executive produced by Megastar himself.
Now officially partnered with Empire Distribution, one of the most respected names in the independent music game, Megastar steps into a new era of reach and recognition. The collaboration brings major visibility to the Loud Money Music Group roster, and cements Megastar’s dual status as both a powerful artist and an executive tastemaker in the Chicago scene.
But Megastar’s impact doesn’t stop there. He is proudly a member of the Worldwide Fleet DJs and currently serves as the Assistant Manager of the Fleet Artist Division. He also owns a radio station within the Fleet Radio Network and is a celebrity reporter for both TheFleetMag.com and StraightOfficial.com—two top-tier publications pushing hip-hop and culture forward. Through his platforms, Megastar actively supports both independent and mainstream artists, helping them elevate through radio exposure, social media traction, and premium media placements.
Loud Money Gang is more than just an album—it’s a declaration. With tracks like “No Doubt” ft. Jefa, “WYA” ft. Roel Da G, and “Married to the Game” ft. Ace thaDon, the tape blends street hunger with polished production, telling real-life stories of ambition, loyalty, and survival. The project embodies the truth of the trenches, but with the mind of a mogul behind it.
Megastar’s sound draws comparisons to elite rappers like Rick Ross, Jeezy, Gucci Mane, and Pusha T, while his business acumen places him in a category all his own. Loud Money Gang is a turning point—both for the label and for Chicago’s underground as a whole.
