Money Jane
2000 single by Sean Paul, Kardinal Offishall, Jully Black, Baby Blue Soundcrew
"Money Jane" is a song recorded by Canadian DJ group Baby Blue Soundcrew featuring Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, Jamaican musician Sean Paul, and Canadian singer-songwriter Jully Black. It was released by Universal Music Canada in 2000, and was the first single from the group's debut studio compilation album Private Party Collectors Edition; a remix was included on Offishall's 2001 album Quest for Fire: Firestarter, Vol. 1. "Money Jane" is a Canadian hip hop and dancehall song with lyrics about a wealthy woman who provides financial and material support for her male companion. The song is noted for its influence on Toronto's hip hop music scene, and is credited with launching Paul's international music career.
Background and release
Offishall, Black, and Baby Blue Soundcrew member Kid Kut initially met through Fresh Arts, a jobs program implemented by the government of Ontario in the wake of the early 1990s recession that provided funding and education for young and emerging artists in the province. "Money Jane" was originally written and produced by Offishall for his second album, 2001's Quest for Fire: Firestarter, Vol. 1. At the suggestion of Kid Kut and Baby Blue Soundcrew member KLC, the song was rearranged to include Paul, who at the time was largely unknown outside of his native Jamaica and Jamaican diasporic communities. Kid Kut believed that Paul's lyrical and performance style made him well-suited for the Canadian market and traveled to Jamaica, where Paul recorded his verse.
