"Music for Money" is a song recorded by British, Italy based Eurodance artist Ice MC, featuring vocals by Italian singer Valentina Ducros,[2] who also appeared on "Give Me the Light". Produced by German Eurodance project Masterboy, it was released in 1996, by Club Zone, as the second single from Ice MC's fourth album, Dreadatour (1996). "Music for Money" was successful in the Czech Republic and Finland, where it peaked at numbers eight and 12. The accompanying music video was directed by Stephan Hadjam, produced by Ulli Beyer and filmed in Berlin, Germany.[3][4] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote in their review of the single, "Ice MC sings raggamuffin' style over dance beats. He should be praised for the honest lyrical content. The second, more clubby radio cut, has slightly more potential than the first."[1]
