Today we will be taking out time to catch up with Studio founder Patrick Osei a.k.a. Bigshot and getting an insight into some of the names that have passed through the Hot Money Studio doors over the past 10 years.

We are chatting about grime legend Ghetts’s time at Hot Money Studios.

Ghetts needs little introduction. A past member of NASTY Crew and founding member of The Movement, Ghetts built a cult following through collaborations, international tours and a standout solo career that is still going strong fourteen years later.

Ghetts has built a reputation for innovation and pushing the grime music scene forward and artists operating on this level naturally demand perfection in the studio.

Ghetts is renowned for hard-hitting lyrics and is well respected for his flow and word play; all factors that require a studio engineer at the very top of his game. Here’s what Patrick remembers about his time working with Ghetts.

Patrick – “When we worked with Ghetts, ‘Kid D’ was producing and I was the recording engineer. Like any elite level artist, Ghetts is very particular with how his vocals sound and is incredibly aware of the tiny nuances in vocal tonality.

My job that day was to make sure the sound we captured reflected Ghetts vision. It’s an incredibly intricate job and requires not only a detailed understanding of the vocal instrument but of the artist and what they are trying to achieve.

My work with Ghetts is the perfect example of what a studio can achieve when everyone is working on the same wavelength and towards a common goal – that is the very basis of what we strive for with every artist that comes through the doors at Hot Money Studios”

MiG Arogan has firmly established himself as a commanding force in the music industry, bringing the weight and depth of Haitian culture and spirituality into the spotlight with his powerful track “Moon Under Me.” This song is not simply a musical creation; it is a bold spiritual declaration and a vivid expression of ancestral strength rooted in Haitian Vodou tradition.

Hailing from Haiti, MiG Arogan combines contemporary rap energy with rich cultural symbolism, carving a unique space where music meets ritual. “Moon Under Me” stands as a testament to this fusion, drawing deeply from the Vodou pantheon of Lwa (spirits) to convey protection, power, and fearlessness.

The song’s hook centers around the presence of Mama performing the sacred work “with the moon under me,” a metaphor for hidden spiritual forces guiding and empowering the artist. Papa Legba, the revered gatekeeper of the spiritual crossroads, “opens doors I don’t see,” symbolizing MiG’s access to realms and protections invisible to others. This connection to Legba asserts a profound control over paths both physical and metaphysical.

Further spiritual guardians emerge in the lyrics: Kalfou, the fierce spirit of crossroads and chaos, “waiting at the edge with heat,” ready to defend or attack; Baron Samedi and Baron Kriminel, powerful death spirits who “laugh when your blood hit street,” representing MiG’s untouchable status backed by forces of life and death. These spirits signal that crossing MiG Arogan or disrespecting his heritage comes with grave consequences.

The song also invokes Erzuli, embodying love, beauty, and pride, along with Simbi, the wise serpent spirit guiding MiG’s style and movement. Ogou, the warrior spirit, tests and arms him, while Damballa offers calm wisdom and balance. The mention of Granne Brigitte, the fierce protector, and the other spirits completes a powerful spiritual armor surrounding the artist.

“Moon Under Me” goes beyond conventional music; MiG Arogan describes himself as “no rapper, I’m a ritual in boots,” emphasizing the song’s ceremonial and mystical weight. The imagery of candles, chants, incense, and spirits evokes authentic Vodou ceremonies that infuse the track with genuine ancestral energy.

By weaving these sacred names and symbols into his lyrics, MiG Arogan not only asserts his own power but elevates Haitian Vodou from misunderstood superstition to a living, respected tradition. His message is clear: “Play with Haitians — that’s the wrong belief.” It’s a warning and a proclamation — the strength of his roots and spiritual backing make him untouchable, commanding respect from all who hear his voice.

With “Moon Under Me,” MiG Arogan asserts a profound cultural and spiritual identity. His music becomes a vessel for ancestral power, a declaration that the Haitian spirit is fierce, unbreakable, and very much alive in him. This song stands as an anthem for strength, heritage, and the unstoppable force that MiG Arogan represents in today’s music and culture landscape.
