Everyone knows P-Money's first love is hip-hop. So it's no wonder there were raised eyebrows when the Kiwi producer jumped on the dance music bandwagon with his last album - even if it did produce Everything, one of his biggest singles to date. But, with a move to New York
behind him, it's a relief to see Peter Wadams returning to his roots. Gratitude, his fourth studio album, is both a hip-hop throwback and a tribute to the music he "grew up listening to" - and he's enlisted help from some of his biggest guest stars to date. MOP provide typically grizzly rhymes over spiralling DJ Premiere-style beats on The Hardest, Mobb Deep's Havoc helps out on the scene-setter Welcome To America and Pac Div boost the chirpy summer styles of Say It Again.
