While the gritty streets of London often inform violent lyrical turns and bone-rattling aural assaults, Mr. Mitch’s productions are a stark counterpoint to the grime status quo: his synths flutter softly and his drums remain spare and broken. In the hands of many other MCs, a track called “Priority” would be a series of boasts about women, money, and drugs—but for London’s P Money (aka Paris Williams), “Priority” is an introspective look at fatherhood. Mr. Mitch’s beat scans like a lullaby, his synths twinkling over coos and disembodied baby cries, laying down a soothing stage for P Money’s reflection.

After nearly 10 years spent dropping countless mixtapes, features, and collaborations, P Money has a lot to look back on, but it’s all changed now that he’s a dad. And with it, his priorities have shifted: “I ain’t gotta drink or smoke to get a vibe/F being shot or stabbed, that’s a hype.” Street cred is worthless inside a home with family. “Thank you for the life I’ve been blessed with,” he declares, equally grateful for his career as an MC as he is for the birth of his son, his greatest achievement. “Hard work paid off and it’s all play now.”
