P-Money earnt his stripes via the DJ Battle/ Turntablist scene in the early 2000′s (3rd place at the Technics DMC World Championships in 2001) then moved on to producing mega-hits for New Zealand rap stars (Scribe “Not Many”, “Stand Up”, “Stop The Music” & Deceptikonz “Stop, Drop n Roll”), collaborating with international heavyweights (Akon “Keep On Calling”, Skillz, Sauce Money, Roc Raida, Bobby Creek and Joell Ortiz) and releasing his own platinum and double platinum albums (‘Big Things’ and ‘Magic City’).
With a solid track record behind him P-Money still never fails to surprise and surpass expectations as evidenced by the recent release of his runaway NZ #1 hit single “Everything” (ft. Vince Harder). Which scored heavy rotation on UK radio waves and underground club play around the world. It’s an instant dancefloor classic with a heavy 90′s House influence and a killer hook.
P-Money’s DJ sets are known to include a good serving of Hip-Hop and Dance music and its the combination of these influences that shape his latest productions.
P-Money released his third and most recent album entitled “Everything” on May 3rd 2010.
2) P Money is a highly favoured MC from Lewisham, London within the Grime scene. He began his career within the crew Fatal Assassins along with MC’s such as Little Dee, Blacks and others from the Blue Borough area of South London.

He attended many classic studio sets such as those from the Hazzardous Sessions series and also Fuck Radio volume 5. He gained a lot of positive attention with the massive single “What Did He Say”, which has since been released on Vinyl and digital download, as well as the title being used as a slogan for a line of T shirts. He is currently a member of the crew OGs and was involved with the collective’s first release, OG Season.
The Hardest
P-Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hood shit, we got a different kinda flow
Get 'em, get 'em, good shit
You niggas would be lost, Brownsville
(Hood Rich) My niggas wanted all and we the hardest motherfuckers hip-hop ever came across
The most interesting man in the world, Billy Danze
I took Brooklyn international, it wasn't in your plans
Across the united nations, acknowledge the movement
I'm rewriting the script, demolishing blueprints
Buckle new, polished all my real shit
Adapt to whatever's cracking
It's not a problem, I'm a felon and a wilder
Gentleman and a scholar
So the money straight range from hood to white collar
By any means, this is the theme I will follow
M.O.P. forever the team, our honor
You niggas said you're bottled up and stuck out on drama
We're trues for the life, running tears from your mama
Don't marry hood, nigga, plan it on the corner
Bang with us, I don't think you wanna weave.
Plotters plot plotters, they shoulda warned ya
[Chorus: x2]
This ain't a game, son, I'll break the beat on y'all you haters
I was thugging back when Ed Cox was our mayor
BM's with the BB's, goons, ever fire in a truck when it's fair go?
Where them years go? I'm M.O.P., Jim Brown
Setting the 21 edition, I just follow tradition
I remember when snitches got stitches
Nowadays those kids don't care, they say them shits gonna hit 'em
Too late, you get the clap and send that kick home square
That's a lifetime cost and that shit don't heal
And I'm not through the bullshit, my life style is in the city rules
Coincided with innocent and blues
Where I'm from sell is nothing to squeeze
Blood run through the streets and it's up to your knees
So come on, play with us, I don't think you wanna weep
Riders ride on riders, they shoulda warned ya
[Chorus: x2]
In P-Money's song The Hardest, the chorus repeats the line "Hood shit, we got a different kinda flow" indicating that this is not the standard type of hip hop lyrics. P-Money and Billy Danze, from M.O.P, boast about being from Brownsville, Brooklyn and being the toughest and most respected rappers in the game. They highlight their ability to adapt to different situations and their reputation ranging from "hood to white collar". They also warn others not to "bang with them" as they are on a different level and ultimately they will come out victorious.
The verses of the song continue in the same vein as the chorus with P-Money and Billy Danze describing what life was like growing up in Brownsville. They highlight the importance of loyalty, respect and the consequences faced by those who break the code. They reference the past and reminisce about how things used to be, how snitches got stitches and how people cared about upholding the code. Today's rap industry has shifted with a different sense of morals and they warn others not to mess with them as they have years of experience and have seen it all.
