Sauce Money (born Todd Gaither) is a Brooklyn rapper who’s best known for his Jay-Z collaborations and for writing Puff Daddy’s #1 hit “I’ll Be Missing You” in 1997.
While growing up in Brooklyn’s Marcy Houses, Sauce became close friends with Jay-Z. He attended Allen University in South Carolina, where he played basketball and baseball. He worked in the mailroom of a bank throughout the mid-’90s while establishing his name as an artist.
Sauce made his recorded debut on Original Flavor’s 1994 album Beyond Flavor, and months later he appeared alongside Jay-Z on Big Daddy Kane’s posse cut “Show & Prove.” His freestyle on DJ Clue’s 1996 mixtape Show Me The Money established Sauce as an underground star, thanks to punchlines like “You must be Chinese the way you duck Sauce”
