"Money to Blow" is the third single from rapper Birdman's fourth studio album, Priceless. It was released on September 16, 2009 and features guest appearances from then-Cash Money Records artists Drake and Lil Wayne. The song was first leaked in early 2008 and originally belonged to the former, who gave it to Birdman as a lead artist. Lyrically, "Money to Blow" is an ode to each performer's success in the music industry. It was produced by Tennessee-based producer Drumma Boy.[1]

A sequel to the song, "4 My Town (Play Ball)" was released the following November as the fourth and final single from the album, which has an identical lineup and contains similar subject matter.
