'''''50 Pence''''' is the [[Pen name|nom de plume]] of '''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 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|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 man behind 50 Pence, Liam Don, is a UK [[hip hop production|hip hop producer]]. The 50 Pence songs were at one time available for [[download]] on Don's own site, but, [[as of 2004]], are no longer available.

He is known to sound incredibly similar to [[Mike Skinner]] of [[The Streets]].

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