"Got Your Money" is a single by American hip-hop artist Ol' Dirty Bastard, taken from his second full-length LP Nigga Please. The song's chorus is sung by American R&B singer Kelis who makes her first appearance on record. Both the single and the album were released on Elektra Records in 1999. The song was produced by The Neptunes. It was also the only single released from Nigga Please. Listed at number 255 on NMEs 500 greatest songs of all time. This was the last top 10 hit single by Ol' Dirty Bastard that was released before his death on November 13, 2004.
