One of the most popular business newsletters around the globe is Money Stuff, which is regularly published by Bloomberg opinion columnist Matt Levine. Before publishing the wildly popular newsletter, Levine served as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and a clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.

In the January 5th, 2026 edition of the Money Stuff newsletter, Mr. Levin dedicated part of the newsletter to a glowing review of the recently released International Cannabis Business Conference 2025 Rap Recap video, performed by our founder and CEO, Alex Rogers.

“My general rule around here is that you should not be involved in any sort of corporate rap video. A case that I had never considered, though, is: What if you work for a cannabis company? On the one hand, no, corporate rap is bad. On the other hand, I feel like, historically, selling marijuana and rapping are often complementary skills. If you tell me “I sell mortgages and rap,” I will assume you are a bad rapper. If you tell me “I sell marijuana and rap,” I’m gonna give you a chance.” Matt Levine wrote.

“But then, I am old, and when I started listening to rap selling marijuana was illegal. Now you can sell cannabis and be very corporate indeed. So here’s the chief executive officer of a European cannabis conference company rapping.” Levine continued in the newsletter. “The video is also great.”

Alex Rogers’ rap recap video has become an annual tradition, with this year’s installment being the fourth year. Before founding the International Cannabis Business Conference, Rogers was an avid hip hop performer in Europe and the United States. If you have ever attended an event after-party hosted by Alex, then you know firsthand that Rogers can rock a microphone, having performed alongside the world-class musicians who have performed at International Cannabis Business Conference after-parties over the years.
