'''''50 Pence''''', the [[pseudonym]] of UK [[hip hop production|hip hop producer]] '''Liam Don''' (born [[January 14]], [[1986]] in [[Germany]]), is an artist [[parody|spoofing]] [[Queens]] [[New York City|New York]]'s [[hip hop music|hip hop]] star [[50 Cent]], based in [[Watford]], England. He is known for parodying 50 Cent's [[single (music)|singles]] by replacing the songs' various subjects with his rhymes about British [[pub]] culture, such as "P.I.N.T." (off 50 Cent's [[P.I.M.P.]]), and "In Da Pub" (a riff on "[[In Da Club]]"). His album title also spoofs 50's, with ''Get Rich or Claim Benefit'' as his categorization of English "ghetto" life. Mimicking 50 Cent's claim of being shot nine times, 50 Pence claims to [[limp]] from an accident on the stairs. He drives a [[Vauxhall Nova]] rather than a [[Mercedes-Benz]], and his "girlfriend's mum" gave him the cash to buy all his "fancy stuff".

Another 50 Pence release is "I See Biddies", which is a spoof of Studio B's "I See Girls".

The 50 Pence songs were at one time available for [[download]] on Don's own site, but, [[as of 2004]], are no longer available.

Don is currently a member of the [[Durham]] based two-piece [[The Infamous Room 45]] alongside former room mate and guitarist Mike Coxon.
