Gratitude is the fourth studio album by P-Money, a New Zealand record producer.

Background and content

P-Money moved to New York City in June 2012 after signing a deal with American record label Duck Down Music. Working with a larger record label allowed him to select from wider range of guest vocalists for his tracks.[1] On Gratitude, P-Money reverts to hip hop music, after the dance-oriented Everything (2010);[2] he says it was inspired by the hip hop music he listened to growing up, and he was reminded of that music by Duck Down.[3] Some tracks are R&B-influenced. The title was P-Money's "way of saying thank you to everyone who has ever offered a helping hand."[1]

Gratitude features funk riffs and New York-influenced horn, keys and strings.[4] The album was released in New Zealand on 17 May 2013 by Dirty Records, Dawn Raid Entertainment and Duck Down Music.[5] A deluxe edition was later released, which includes a second disc with instrumental versions of all fifteen tracks.[6]
