Internet Money Records, often credited as Internet Money, is an American record label and record producer collective.

Members of the collective have produced for artists such as Lil Tecca, Juice Wrld, Trippie Redd, the Kid Laroi, Lil Tjay and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, among others. On August 28, 2020, Internet Money released their debut album, B4 the Storm, which peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200. It was supported by the single, "Lemonade" (with Gunna, Don Toliver, and Nav), which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Their beats are known for their heavy use of the 808.

By late summer, Taylor had agreed to a buyout with Alamo and Interscope and signed a new record deal with TenThousand Projects and Virgin Music, giving him more control of who he could sign to the joint venture.^[8] On August 16, 2018, Internet Money was featured alongside American rapper 03 Greedo on fellow American rapper Mozzy's single, "Free Greedo".^[9]
