\nAn international collaboration of prolific proportions, one of New Zealand\u2019s most iconic producers, P-Money, has joined forces with beacon of British reggae Gappy Ranks to release “The Baddest” EP on June 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unlikely pair were introduced following dancehall dynasty Gappy Ranks\u2019 performance at local reggae festival Raggamuffin. That email intro by a mutual friend culminated in the long distance production of first single off the EP of the same name, \u2018Baddest\u2019 \u2013 entirely over the web.<\/p>\n

The dynamic duo finally met for the first time on set for a video shoot for the track \u2013 a video which dropped yesterday via a premiere on Large Up. Filmed in Melbourne and directed by Tim McCartney, the Japanese-police-car-featured, fire-friendly flick, with even friendlier dancers, lives up to the title track\u2019s name. It\u2019s badass.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a track that pricked the ears of some prominent supporters, including legendary DJ Max Glazer, Bobby Konders of New York radio station\u2019s Hot 97 and Jillionaire of Major Lazer, with the heat the single received prompting the full-blown collaboration.<\/p>\n

Recording the EP together at the Red Bull Studio in Auckland, the final product is a package that can be uniquely stamped with both P-Money\u2019s impeccable craft and Gappy\u2019s golden take on modern dance hall.<\/p>\n
