Paris began his career within the crew Fatal Assassins along with MC's such as Little Dee and Blacks. During these times P Money was known for his fast, skippy flow which created plenty of hype when attending pirate radio shows. He attended many classic studio sets such as those from the Hazardous 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.
P Money Is Power - P Money's debut album. The album received mixed reviews, with some people doubting the strength of some productions on the CD. However praise has been given to tracks such as the remix of "What Did He Say" and "Sounds and Gimmicks".
Money Over Everyone - Money Over Everyone is the 2nd purchasable release from South London artist P Money. It follows on from 2008's P Money Is Power which fans and critics were unsure of, with many doubting the strength of some productions and the inclusion of some tracks. This release features more notable producers however, such as Maniac, Scratcha & Rude Kid. This CD also gives fans the opportunity to hear what Grime MC's can do on dubstep with nods to "Left The Room" and "Look How Many". There is still input from the lesser known talents, SNK, Mastermind & Royal-T are amongst those and on the MC support there are hands lent from Little Dee, Frisco, Wiley plus more. "Fruits and Veg" is a popular song containing the lyrics only previously heard on one Logan Sama show, "Crazy" leans slightly into the R & G sub-genre and "They Don't Understand" is the emotional bass filled banger with Little Dee.
In 2010, he collaborated with Kiss 100's DJ Swerve, who remixed Marco Del Horno's Ho!, to release Ho Riddim[2] with P Money.
On the tail end of 2010 and in 2011, P Money featured on two singles which hit the charts, the first being "Pow 2011"[3] which peaked at 33rd on the UK charts[4] and featured fellow Grime artists, Lethal Bizzle, JME, Wiley, Chipmunk, 2Face, Ghetts and Kano.
The second was "Anthemic",[5] which was released as the fourth single from Magnetic Man's's eponymous debut album Magnetic Man, this reached 50th in the UK Charts.[6] It was also Hottest Record In The World on Zane Lowe's weekly blog.[7]
In 2010 P Money famously beefed with grime MC Ghetts in what became one of the most covered and followed wars of the grime scene. While the origins of the feud are debated, people cite P Money's Westwood set in 2008 as the main trigger. The conflict reached a stage that the only way fans felt it could be settled was in a live clash. Many raves at the time claimed to have to the clash booked but it never went ahead.
