P Money

Paris Moore-Williams, who performs as P Money, ranks among England’s notable grime MCs, celebrated for explosive stage energy, his role within the Fatal Assassins collective, and a solo catalog that roamed across dubstep and garage. Raised in Lewisham, South London, he first surfaced on multiple late-2000s mixtapes alongside Fatal Assassins, drawing national pirate-radio notice through a rapid, consistent, and cutting delivery. He later helped establish the OGz crew, began penning his own material, and folded assorted strands of urban electronica into his independent projects.

Coins 2 Notes became his debut proper solo mixtape, an eighteen-track set that distilled his intended statements into one package; “What Did He Say” emerged from those sessions to earn both critical praise and broad attention. A remix of the track appeared on the follow-up P Money Is Power, issued in 2008 by London’s Uptown Records. Avalanche Music then released Money Over Everyone in 2009; reviewers responded positively, highlighting its wide-ranging textures, dubstep inflections, and contributions from producers including Rude Kid and Maniac.

In 2010 P Money joined Kiss 100’s DJ Swerve for a remix of Marco del Horno’s “Ho!” Further team-ups followed in 2011: he featured on Lethal Bizzle’s “Pow 2011” and on “Anthemic,” the fourth single from Magnetic Man’s self-titled debut album as a London dubstep group. That same year his rising profile earned inclusion on MTV’s list of the Best U.K. MCs for 2010. He supported electro artist Example and American rapper Tyga on their respective U.K. tours. Returning to solo output, he delivered the Dubsteppin EP via Rinse Records in 2012 and the Round the Clock EP in late 2013, the latter pairing him with a Bristol production duo on the title cut.

Money Over Everyone, Vol. 2 arrived in 2015 as a direct sequel, retaining the earlier installment’s blend of personal and humorous lyricism alongside street-life narratives; critics praised it as an ideal counterpart and noted that P Money financed the project independently. His first official album, Live and Direct, surfaced in 2016, fronted by the Manchester-based D33CO-produced single “Panasonic.”
